Food for Others' mission is to obtain and distribute free food to the hungry of Northern Virginia and support food programs of other community-based organizations. We provide a channel for people to help their neighbors by actively volunteering their service.

Donate Time

Volunteer

We rely on volunteers for their generous contributions of time. For more information about volunteer opportunities, visit our volunteer page.

Raise Funds Your Own Way!

These are just a few ideas, but feel free to use your imagination. Let us know what you come up with and how we can help make your event a success. We are grateful for all contributions big and small!

Organize a “Skip Lunch for the Hungry” day at your school, place of employment or social organization. Collect everyone’s lunch money for a day and donate it to Food for Others. All proceeds will be used for Emergency Food Programs.

Organize a Latte Free Day. For all of you who live for your latte at your favorite coffee shop, this will be hard – but extremely rewarding! Food for Others can really make $3.50 stretch in terms of feeding the hungry. Imagine what we can do with latte money from a number of your friends and co-workers!

Have a Non-Event Party. Wish your company wouldn't spend so much on holiday parties when so many people are hungry? In the spirit of the season consider making a contribution to Food for Others instead. We promise to put it to good use.
