Team DCist is cleaning streets and taking names. Last month we invited our readers and writers to join our Servathon 2010 team. We’ll be one of dozens of teams around the Washington area participating in this massive day of service on Saturday, April 24. So far, 37 of you have registered for our team, and you've pulled together $1.540.10 toward our fundraising goal. We're ranked #2 in team size and money raised, just a few dollars and volunteers behind Team DHS. more ›

We know that despite the grumbling, despite the lack of voting rights, despite the indie rock neighborhood battles to the death, even despite the fashion sense or lack thereof, you guys love this town just as much as we do.

In addition to volunteering our time on either May 4 or 5, each participant is asked to raise just $100 by asking friends and family to donate to the cause. All the money, including your registration fee of $20 (which goes towards your $100) goes to help local nonprofit agencies run throughout the year. This year, Servathon hopes to raise $400,000 and provide 11,000 volunteer hours fixing up the community. more ›
