As part of Hunger Action Month, Arlington Transit, Giant Foods, and AFAC are partnering up to take action against hunger by challenging the community to “stuff the bus". The Stuff the Bus event will take place on Sep 24-25 from 10am-4pm at two Giant Food stores in Arlington, VA (Lyon Village, 3115 Langston Blvd and Virginia Square, 3450 Wash Blvd). The ART bus will be in front of both stores to fill them with as many donations as possible!

Eighth Annual AFAC Golf Tournament

Last week was the Eighth Annual AFAC Golf Tournament, sponsored by Williams & Connolly, at Army-Navy Country Club Arlington. 100 golfers and sponsors raised nearly $115,000 in net proceeds! Thank you to everone who participated.

Last Call for Gleaning!

We have three more opportunities at JK Farms in Purcellville, VA (about 90 minutes from Arlington) to help harvest produce that will be given back to AFAC. This is a family-friendly event (children ages 6 and up) that starts at 9:00 am on two Saturdays and one Wednesday (for those with more flexible hours). This is also good for small groups. It IS weather-dependent. It's a great way to see a working farm in action.

For more details, please email volunteer@afac.org.

Thanks to Ann Wilson of Ann Wilson Homes and Arlington Church of the Brethren for hosting the annual "Shredding for Hunger" event this past weekend!  This year 410lbs of food and $1,750 were donated to AFAC!  What an amazing event once again!  Thanks again for your continued support of AFAC year after year!
