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.

The other day, we shared that our shelves were looking a little bare that we needed help and our incredible community responded.

Because of your generosity, we received donations of food that will help ensure our neighbors and families continue to have access to the resources they need. Every can, box, bag, and dollar donated makes a difference, and we are so grateful for the support.

To the ones that sent gift receipts, Michaela Brogan, Lori Merculief, and Christopher Heath in memory of Roy de Soto and to all of the donations that we received that didn't have gift receipts, thank you ❤️

The kindness and generosity from our community is what makes our work possible.

We are continually humbled by the compassion of this community. During times when resources are stretched thin, you remind us that we are not alone in this mission.

💙 From all of us at the Arlington Community Food Bank, thank you for standing with us.

🌱It's that time of year again!

We are so excited to start seeing fresh produce coming in from our community garden over Andrew's Hay! This beautiful lettuce was harvested this week and is just the beginning of what we will hope will be a plentiful growing season!

We are incredibly grateful for the volunteers, gardeners, and community members who help make this possible. Fresh produce provides healthy options for our neighbors and makes a big difference for the families that we serve.

Stay tuned for more garden updates throughout the summer!
