Distribution of Food and Hygiene Packages to Refugees

Maryland and Virginia

Global Shout is Supporting the Refugee Community One Package at a Time

We are delighted to announce our partnership with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints to distribute food and hygiene packages bimonthly to Afghan Refugees and minorities
living in the DMV area.

Global Shout has successfully held two food distribution drives that have helped support over 50
families living in the DMV area. These drives consisted of volunteers working roughly ten hours
a day delivering food and hygiene packages straight to families due to many refugees lacking
transportation.
As a result of the lack of employment opportunities and financial help from the federal
government, there have been high rates of food insecurity and unemployment among recent
immigrants. Even with assistance, it is difficult for the refugees to navigate social services
offered in a foreign country while still learning English. Global Shout is here to lessen their
burden by providing services like food packages, household goods, home furnishing, and English
classes.
Refugees are still coming to the United States from camps in Qatar, Dubai, and Afghanistan;
therefore, many still need our help! Please visit our donation page to make a donation or to offer
our services as a volunteer to distribute.

About Us

Global Shout is a U.S. based 501(c)3 tax-exempt (EIN#: 85-2382286) non-profit organization originally founded by students at Georgetown University in 2005 as Global S.H.O.U.T. (Students Helping Orphans in Underprivileged Territories). After an early focus strictly on the education and care of orphaned children in third world nations, the organization underwent a gradual shift in scope of humanitarian work, expanding beyond the university and dropping the acronym, with a full rebranding in 2019-20, now operating projects internationally of varying type and purpose.
