I had something pulled together a little while ago that was Arlington-focused, but after an WAMU (local NPR affiliate) story this morning, I wanted to pull together a regional list. If I have left any off here, I am sorry. Please let me know in the comments and I will try to update them when I return from vacation.

It breaks my heart to hear that people are hungry in the US. 200+ years of democracy and we still can’t feed our people.

Some of these require a referral by a social services agency. Others restrict the number of visits you can make. Please call to find out the hours and ask what kind of services they provide. Different agencies give out different amounts of food too.

Virginia Social Services Agency
Maryland Social Services
DC Department of Human Services

This list is not in any special order because some agencies serve more than one jurisdiction. They are open to donations of all kinds so if you are inclined, please consider a donation.
