Food for Others joined Fairfax County Public Schools at their recent screening of Just Eat It - a documentary shedding light on food waste and food rescue operations. Afterwards, the Food for Others Program Manager joined student leaders, Fairfax County Public Schools Food & Nutrition staff, and Hands On Harvests in their panel discussion about the impact of food waste and how we can all reduce our environmental impact. The movie screening was hosted by Get2Green, Fairfax County Public Schools environmental stewardship program.

Our mission is to distribute food to our neighbors in need by mobilizing our giving community and volunteers.
关于我们
No one should have to choose between paying a bill or putting food on the table for their family. Food for Others is one of the largest distributors of free groceries in Northern Virginia, serving as a safety net for food insecure families. We provide food through 4 programs: 1. Emergency Food operations at our warehouse (open Monday-Friday, 9:30am-5pm) provide 3-5 days’ worth of non-perishables as well as milk, eggs and other fresh food to people referred to Food for Others by Fairfax County CSP and various social service providers. Those clients who qualify based on low income may also receive monthly food supplements that we order on their behalf from the USDA Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). 2. Neighborhood Site distributions provide food to individuals and families via volunteers who pick up food at our warehouse and deliver groceries to low-income neighborhoods. This occurs every evening, Monday through Friday, serving 11 sites. 3. The Community Partners program provides bulk food items to over 22 community partners on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. This includes faith-based organizations, homeless shelters and other groups serving at-risk residents facing food insecurity in northern Virginia. 4. The Power Pack Program (P3) provides weekend backpack food to Fairfax County public elementary school students identified by school social workers as in need of supplemental food. Over 117,000 packs were distributed last school year, and we're currently serving over 3,900 students each week.

Last week, Bloomberg visited regional food pantries, including Food for Others, to learn more about the rising impacts of food insecurity in the community. "Grocery prices have climbed nearly 28% in the past five years. That’s roughly as much as food costs rose in the 15 years preceding the pandemic." #FoodSecurity #Hunger #FairfaxCounty #FoodforOthers

Two years ago, we opened the doors of My Market, a choice pantry designed to provide a more dignified and empowering experience for those seeking food assistance. ?? This milestone is an opportunity to celebrate the resilience of our clients, the dedication of our volunteers, and the generosity of our community. ?? Together, we've built more than a pantry - we’ve created a space of hope, respect, and choice. ? Thank you for being part of this journey. We can't wait to show you what year three has in store! #FoodforOthers #Community #FairfaxCounty #Choice
