Our Programs

The Arlington Food Bank offers essential programs to help those facing hunger in our community. With the support of donors and volunteers, we provide food, run educational workshops, and have special initiatives for children and seniors. Our mission is to ensure everyone in Arlington has access to nutritious meals.

KidSmart

In partnership with the Arlington School District, FREE supplemental meals are available for any student in Arlington School District.

A Simple Gesture

Buy some non-perishable food items when you shop. Place the items in the given bag. On the 2nd Saturday of EVEN months a volunteer will pick it up!

The Mobile Market

Together, with AHS’s “Character Strong Campaign”, we have put our words to action and purchase a refrigerated mobile food pantry to improve services to our community most in need.

Have you ever tried celeriac root?

This interesting-looking veggie came to us from one of our wonderful Garden Sharing Abundance (GSA) volunteers!

Celeriac, also known as celery root, may not win any beauty contests but don't let its bumpy appearance fool you! Underneath that rough exterior is a mild, slightly nutty flavor with a hint of celery.

Did you know that you can use it like a potato? You can mash it, roast it, add it soups and stews, or, our favorite, mix it with mashed potatoes!

It's delicious!!

A big thank you to our GSA volunteers for continuing to share their harvests with the Arlington Community Food Bank and giving clients the opportunity to try all kinds of fresh, locally grown produce! 💙💚

Have you ever cooked with celeriac? What is your favorite way to use it?

Our friends at John L. Scott - Arlington are spending their Saturdays giving back to our community! 💚

Every Saturday throughout the month of October (besides Halloween), the John L. Scott team will be at our local Arlington Safeway from 2PM - 4PM collecting food donations for the Arlington Community Food Bank.

They kicked off their first Saturday this past weekend, and we are so thankful for everyone who stopped by and donated!

If you are heading to the Arlignton Safeway on a Saturday this month, keep an eye out for the John L. Scott team and consider picking up an extra item or two to help stock the shelves at the food bank. Every donation adds up and helps us continue providing food to our neighbors right here in our community.

A huge thank you to John L. Scott - Arlington for continuing to show up for the Arlington Community Food Bank and the families that we serve. We appreciate you!
