What our residents are saying

“Since starting back working two jobs, Ounce has really helped me with the little things that single parents overlook or can't always take care of with booking appointments for me and my daughter. So professional while helping. Never hesitate to call them”

Makiyia

DC resident

“Ounce understood what I needed and you knew it better than me. I didn't know my benefit had expired until I came to see you, and y'all jumped on it and took care of me before the week was out!”

Lavonne

DC resident

“Ounce is special and unique. They provide a beautiful service for those in need, and they are meeting people where they live. The nation needs Ounce, but for right now, thank you for having Ounce in Ward 8 in DC.”

Lakeith
