Food for Others is the largest provider of free groceries directly to people in need in Northern Virginia. Last year FFO distributed 2.2 million pounds of food, 91% having been donated. Hunger affects people from all walks of life and our vision is a community free from food insecurity and hunger.  

In an area known for its affluence there are pockets of great need.  1 in 17 people live in poverty in Fairfax County, including 1 in 14 children. With a food insecurity rate of 5.3%, nearly 60,000 people face uncertain access to enough food to support a healthy life. Food for Others is a place to turn for those in need of food, serving 1,500 households on average per week.
