AFAC grocery services are available to residents of Arlington County every week of the year! During the holiday season, registered AFAC clients receive a holiday hen in addition to the usual groceries.

All AFAC services require a referral, photo ID, and proof of residential address in Arlington.

If you are experiencing food insecurity and would benefit from free weekly grocery services, call the Arlington County Department of Human Services (Sequoia 1) at 703-228-1300 to receive an online AFAC referral and access to other support services.
