In Case of Inclement Weather
In case of bad weather, AFAC will be closed for daytime distribution when the Arlington Public Schools are closed due to bad weather. If the Arlington Public Schools open two hours late, AFAC will open on time. Evening distribution will be determined by 1:00 pm. The distribution at Gunston will be canceled if Arlington Public Schools are closed that day. Saturday clients should call ahead.
All closings will be posted online. If you are unsure, please call 703-845-8486 to see if AFAC is open for distribution.
