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.

Stamp Out Hunger
Nationwide Letter Carriers Food Drive
On the second Saturday of May, your local letter carriers collect non-perishable food items to help those in need right here in Arlington! You can help Stamp Out Hunger by leaving your non-perishable food donations by your mailbox the morning of the food drive to be picked up and delivered to AFAC. This late-Spring food drive comes at an important time for school children in their families who rely on school food programs. With schools closed and these essential meal services paused, the ability to provide food for their families becomes a pressing issue.
