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.

Scouting For Food

With the assistance of Boy Scout Troops and Cub Scout Packs from the Chain Bridge District of the National Capital Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America, the Scouting for Food Drive is the largest single day food drive benefitting AFAC. This partnership has collected over 1 million pounds of food since 1995. Scouting for Food is held on the second Saturday of every November and engages the entire community.
