Arlington Charities Home Delivery

Arlington Charities ’ main mission is to address food insecurity in Arlington and surrounding areas . They do this through a daily drive-through food pantry service , home delivery , mobile markets out in the community , mobile food truck targeting food deserts , and other seasonal programs . Joy , an 85-year-old client , was evicted from her apartment after being there for 10 years . She joined their home delivery in October 2020 .
“ Arlington Charities has been so sweet to me . I felt like I was in a nightmare . Especially after working all my life for newspapers , I never imagined myself in this situation . I am disabled , and retired , and I am so grateful for Arlington Charities . They have helped me with kindness and understanding . You feel like you are so alone , but I know I am not alone .”
This is just one of many success stories that they see on a regular basis . The financial support of CDBG makes this possible .
