Arlington Charities’ main mission is to address food insecurity in Arlington and surrounding areas. We do this through a daily drive-thru food pantry service, home delivery, mobile markets out in the community, mobile food truck targeting food deserts, and other seasonal programs. 

Joy, 85-year-old client, was evicted from her apartment after being there for 10 years. She joined our home delivery in October 2020. "Arlington Charities has been so sweet to me. I felt like I was in a nightmare. Especially after working all my life for newspapers, I never imagined myself in this situation. I am disabled, and retired, and I am so grateful for Arlington Charities. They have helped me with kindness and understanding. You feel like you are so alone, but I know I am not alone.”

This is just one of many, many success stories that we see on a regular basis. The financial support of CDBG makes this possible.
