Washington, D.C. - Washington Eye Doctors, a leading provider of eye care in the D.C. area, is launching a year-round food drive to support Cornerstones’ Food Pantry as part of their annual charitable initiatives. Spearheaded by Dr. Michael Rosenblatt, Washington Eye Doctors is inviting the community to donate non-perishable food items at any of its three locations. These donations will directly benefit the Trinidad Community, with a particular focus on Cornerstones’ mission to promote self-sufficiency by assisting residents in need of food, housing, and essential services.

“The holidays are a time of togetherness, and our goal is to give back to those facing food insecurity within our community,” said Dr. Michael Rosenblatt, head of Washington Eye Doctors. “This year, our drive is particularly special, as it aligns with my son’s recent efforts to establish a community pantry in Trinidad. It’s a family initiative that reflects our commitment to creating a better, more compassionate neighborhood.”

Cornerstones, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has actively provided support and advocacy for community members in need. In collaborating with Cornerstones, Washington Eye Doctors hopes to make a difference by encouraging patients and locals to participate in this ongoing food drive. Donations are accepted year-round, with all contributions helping individuals and families within the local area.

To better serve the community and provide greater access, Washington Eye Doctors accepts all donation types at each of its locations. Whether patients are visiting for an eye exam, choosing new frames, or simply stopping by, they are encouraged to bring food items to help support this essential cause. “No act of kindness is too small,” Dr. Rosenblatt added, emphasizing that each contribution, no matter the size, can make a significant impact on a family in need.

Since its founding, Washington Eye Doctors has worked to serve not only the eye health of its patients but also the well-being of the broader community. This food drive is part of Dr. Rosenblatt’s annual charitable giving initiative, which has long been a staple of the practice’s efforts to make a positive impact. By accepting donations throughout the year, Washington Eye Doctors aims to help alleviate food insecurity on an ongoing basis rather than focusing solely on seasonal giving.

Cornerstones has provided vital resources for the local community through advocacy and essential services, including assistance with shelter, quality childcare, affordable housing, and food pantry services. Their partnership with Dr. Rosenblatt and Washington Eye Doctors underscores the importance of community collaboration in addressing complex issues like food security and accessibility to everyday essentials. Washington Eye Doctors hope to set an example and inspire other local organizations to participate in similar community support efforts.

Dr. Rosenblatt’s son, who built the community pantry in Trinidad, also shares a commitment to supporting local families. His efforts serve as an example of the next generation’s investment in the health and welfare of the community, with Washington Eye Doctors amplifying this initiative by providing donation sites at all three of its locations: Chevy Chase, MD; Washington, D.C.; and Arlington, VA.

The team at Washington Eye Doctors encourages all patients and residents to drop off non-perishable items any time they visit. Suggested donations include canned goods, boxed cereals, pasta, and other shelf-stable essentials, which will go directly to Cornerstones’ Food Pantry to support families in need. Washington Eye Doctors is thrilled to be part of this cause and welcomes the community to help make a difference, one donation at a time.
