Food for Others’ warehouse at 2938 Prosperity Avenue, Fairfax, VA 22031 is open for distributions of food, Monday through Friday from 9:30am until 5:00pm.

Northern Virginia Residents may receive food from us at the warehouse in two different ways:

1. USDA Food Supplements

If you meet U.S. Government low-income guidelines, you may be eligible to receive USDA food supplements.

  • If you are a Northern Virginia resident, you may walk in and apply. Bring a photo ID. If the ID does not have your current address on it, please also bring in a lease or a piece of mail addressed to you.

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a supplemental assistance program for low-income households and is provided by the United States Department of Agriculture.

2. Emergency Food

We make free emergency food distributions from our warehouse for people who are referred to us by social service providers like social workers, clergy, hospitals, and schools. The boxes of food are enough to last a family three-to-five days until other forms of assistance become available. Clients may shop in “My Market,” choosing enough food to meet their families’ needs for three to five days.
