#Summervacation for families receiving food assistance from the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) can be a time of increased uncertainty. When the school year ends, children lose access to the crucial school-sponsored #breakfast and #lunch programs that they rely on during the school year. AFAC’s families need your support more than ever to ensure they can rely on our services for access to nutritious groceries throughout the summer. Make a contribution today and join our #EndSummerHunger food and fund drive to help provide vital resources to AFAC’s families and children struggling to make ends meet this summer. Together, we can ensure that AFAC families receive the food they need all summer long. Click the #linkinbio to donate. #afacfeeds #fooddrive

We are looking for strong and reliable help for a brief amount of time on Sundays at the Columbia Pike #FarmersMarket! You would arrive at the market no later than 12:45 and greet the AFAC van and their helper. You would unload crates and deliver them to vendors to see if they have excess produce to donate. When the market closes at 1:00, you would help collect the donations and load the bins onto the van. You would most likely be done by 1:30. The market takes place until the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving - we are looking for three individuals (you must be at least 14) who can commit to being there most Sundays (we understand illness/travel/other obligations). This would be a great opportunity for those that live nearby since it's not a long time commitment! Email us at [email protected] for more details. #afacfeeds #volunteer4afac #fooddrive
