DACL was proud to attend the Senior Hunger Conference hosted by the Capital Area Food Bank. We were especially honored to have Director Hines serve as a panelist, sharing insights on advancing food access, equity, and support services for older adults across the District.
Together with community partners, we remain committed to addressing senior hunger and ensuring every older adult has access to the resources they need to thrive. #SeniorHungerConference #DACL #OlderAdults #FoodAccess #CommunityPartnerships

Today, DACL Director Hines, Chief of Staff Angela Richardson, and Chief Operating Officer Regat Hagos testified before the Committee on Executive Administration and Labor of the Council of the District of Columbia, chaired by Councilmember Anita Bonds, on the FY27 Grow DC Budget. This budget focuses on ensuring DACL remains strong and stable while preserving the core services our seniors rely on every day.
Ahead of today’s FY2027 Budget Oversight Hearing, our senior leadership team observed Denim Day, an international campaign that raises awareness and challenges victim blaming in cases of sexual assault. We stand in solidarity with survivors and reaffirm our commitment to fostering a culture of respect, accountability, and support in our communities.

This weekend DACL and @msseniordc were honored to celebrate DC Emancipation Day with @mayor_bowser and District residents, recognizing the strength of our seniors and the legacy of liberation that continues to shape our city. 🇺🇸
Today, DACL joined civic leaders, advocates, and community members at the DC Emancipation Day “DC 250: Full Democracy” Luncheon.
This powerful gathering honored the legacy of emancipation while recognizing DC250, connecting our local history to the nation’s 250th anniversary.
