The event, which was free to the public, was well attended by religious leaders including Rabbi David Shneyer of Am Kolel Congregation in Beallsville, Md., Siva Subramanian of the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple in Lanham and Sayyid Syeed of the Islamic Society of North America in D.C., spoke of faith, community and service. Also in attendance was Maj. Steve Morris, area commander for The Salvation Army.

The food was donated to the Salvation Army.
