Food insecurity in Fairfax, Virginia, is a growing problem. With rising living costs, many families struggle to make ends meet and put food on the table. How serious is this issue? The Fairfax County Department of Family Services reports that over 20,000 households are food insecure, meaning they lack access to enough nutritious food to lead a healthy lifestyle. This is especially concerning for children, as they are more likely to experience hunger and its associated health risks. To combat this issue, our agency will continue to support Food for Others and its mission to ensure that all residents have access to nutritious food.

Food for Others is a noble organization dedicated to providing food to those in need in the Northern Virginia area. Its enthusiastic staff and volunteers work around the clock to ensure members of their community with nourishment for the mind, body, and soul.

Since opening its doors in 1995, Food for Others has acted as a safety net for our communities most vulnerable neighbors. As a result of their efforts, approximately 2,600 frail and homebound families living in Northern Virginia have nutritiously tailored meals delivered to them weekly.

Food for Others would love to meet the needs of every resident who faces food insecurity, but they can’t do it alone. Our Community Cause Program allows everyone to chip in a little to make a big difference – let’s create something special together! For every friend, family member, or co-worker you recommend to our agency for a no-obligation quote, we will donate $10 to Food for Others on your behalf! Ready to get started?
