Support our Community
40% of the food we distribute is donated by people like you through local food drives, providing families in need with variety and choice.


Over 4,000 Arlington families weekly rely on AFAC groceries for their regular meals.
Supplemental groceries from AFAC mean that families can remain in their homes, workers can stay on the job, children are ready to learn, and mothers and babies receive essential nutrition. We help relieve the food budgets of our clients, allowing them to make other necessary purchases without sacrificing their health and nutrition needs.

Your neighbor deserves to know where their next meal is coming from.

Empty Bowls
Soup'er Bowl Sunday Community Fundraiser
AFAC invites you to join us at our 13th Annual Empty Bowls – a luncheon fundraiser featuring many delicious homemade soups made by chefs from local restaurants and beautiful hand-thrown bowls created by local area artists. Each guest enjoys a luncheon of soup, bread, dessert, and chooses a hand-made bowl to take home as a reminder that there are many members in our community that live weekly with empty bowls.
