Welcome to Food for Others!
We have three different ways you can receive emergency food assistance!
- USDA– Our USDA Program is 1x a month. Families qualify based on income. To find out if you qualify, the first time you visit you will be asked to fill out of short application. You do not need to schedule an appointment to receive food.
- Emergency Referral– To receive food through our emergency referral program, you need a referral from a social worker or community health worker. This program is different from USDA as it provides some additional food.
- Neighborhood Sites– Third, you can receive food at one of our neighborhood sites. Neighborhood sites provide supplementary food. You don’t need to provide any information (just the number of people in your family) to pick up neighborhood site food. We recommend coming to a neighborhood site 10 minutes early.
Please note: Pantry operations are now taking place out of our new choice marketplace located at 2942 Prosperity Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22031 (two doors down from our main warehouse).
