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.

Food for Others, the largest distributor of free food directly to people in need in Northern Virginia, provides the assistance vitally needed by our unemployed and low-income neighbors. We provide a safety net for people who suddenly face unforeseen emergencies such as a family illness or the loss of a job or a spouse.

Even though Northern Virginia is considered one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the country, we still face a poverty rate of about 5%. This means, based on U.S. Census figures, that more than 90,000 people are living in poverty and 30 percent are children.

Food for Others is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit organization funded in part by the Fairfax and Arlington County governments. We also receive funding from foundations, churches and many generous individuals. A small but dedicated staff and the hard work of over 600 volunteers allow us to keep our costs low and maximize our service to those in need.

Financial contributions to Food for Others are tax-deductible.  Donors will receive a tax receipt acknowledgement of their donation.

As an organization dedicated to sound fiscal management and transparency, we are providing easy access to our IRS 990, Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax . For additional information about Food for Others, please see our Annual Report.

Thank You Vienna Whole Foods Market!

On July 1st, the Vienna Whole Foods Market opened their doors to the Food for Others team for a 5% Community Day and Food Drive!  Our dedicated volunteers were on hand to pass out fliers and answer questions about our organization. 

The Vienna community stuffed over 1,000 pounds of critically needed food items in to the Food for Others’ truck.  The enthusiastic Whole Foods staff was very supportive, with members also pitching in by buying food for our food drive.  We are so grateful for their continued support of our mission.

Thank you to all of you that came out to support this valuable community event.
