The Capital Area Food Bank received a six-figure donation from the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Foundation to help fight food insecurity. The donation brings the company’s financial commitment to the food bank to over $1 million in the past five years.

Enterprise donated $150,000 to the Capital Area Food Bank as a part of the car rental agency’s own hunger-fighting effort launched in 2016, called Enterprise’s Fill Your Tank program.



“We are committed to promoting long-term growth and prosperity in the communities we serve, all of which face some level of food insecurity,” said Giuseppe Carfango, regional vice president for Enterprise in the D.C. metro area.

“Often, hunger is an issue that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We are proud to support the Capital Area Food Bank in its fight against hunger.”

D.C.-based Enterprise employees have volunteered in Capital Area Food Bank’s warehouse throughout the year sorting through food and preparing emergency food boxes.

Enterprise pledged an additional $65 million to its Fill Your Tank program in November, which works with both national and international hunger relief organizations. By 2026, the Fill Your Tank will have collectively donated to $115 million to its various partners.

For first time, Chuck Brown Day will go on without Brown family

For the first time in its 12-year history, Chuck Brown Day in D.C. will go on without the support of the family of the "Godfather of Go-Go." The Brown family announced it has withdrawn its support for Saturday's celebration at Fort Dupont Park, saying it no longer believes the event reflects the collaboration and respect Chuck Brown's legacy deserves. Chuck Brown's son, Nekos Brown Sr., told WTOP the issues are primarily with the D.C. Department of Parks and Recreation. "It's been three years of issues we've been having with them as far as staying on par with proper communication, just overall professionalism and the ability to take our stance seriously," Brown said.
