How to Help

You can help the Arlington Food Assistance Center in a wide variety of ways. Your time commitment can be as much or as little as you are able to give. You can help on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. If you cannot commit even to that kind of a schedule, you can put your name on the list as a substitute or just to work special projects like periodic area food drives.

Virtual Food Drive - Online
Through AFAC’s Virtual Food Drive the funds you donate will put more food on the tables of our clients faster and with less expense than through traditional food collection drives. We buy from selected vendors in large quantities at a large savings. In many cases, we can buy over four times as much as you can at the grocery store for the same money, not to mention that you don’t have to make an extra trip to the store in order to participate in a food drive!
