In addition to serving many vulnerable populations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area since 2012, Chrisma Charities, Inc. also impacts the lives of orphans and poverty-stricken children in developing countries by providing school supplies, clothes and hygienic items.

TESTIMONIALS

I was displaced by a fire. While I looked for a new residence, Chrisma helped me with food on a weekly basis. Once I moved into my new place several months later, Chrisma helped me furnish my new home. During this same period, my adult son succumbed to a long-term illness. Chrisma was there to help me through a really tough time. I truly appreciate their help.

I have been participating in Chrisma’s weekly food distributions since 2018. I’m a senior in Montgomery County living on a fixed income. When I am able to get food from Chrisma, I use the money that I save to get other items like toothpaste, shampoo. I also use the money to add to my Call-N-Ride account which usually runs out before the end of the month. Chrisma has been a blessing to me.

I was going through a divorce when I was referred to Chrisma. They assisted with food for my three children which helped keep us stabilized while I looked for housing. Chrisma also helped with school supplies and other clothing items for my children.

I’m a single parent and was diagnosed with cancer last year. During my recovery, Chrisma was instrumental in providing support to my family. I’m proud to say that I’m now able to volunteer with Chrisma.

Chrisma has been a steady source of support to immigrant communities in Montgomery County. They offer dignified assistance and are truly appreciated.
