Fighting Food Insecurity in Arlington
As a part of Field to Table’s mission of fighting food insecurity in Arlington, we donate annually to Arlington Food Assistance Center and Culpepper Gardens.
Arlington Food Assistance Center: Since Field to Table’s inception, AFAC has sent volunteers to Field to Table markets for weekly pick-ups of donated produce from farm vendors and nonperishable foods donated by market customers. In addition to our annual monetary contribution, our markets donate thousands of pounds of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables, which are immediately distributed to Arlington residents experiencing food insecurity.
How you can get involved: Donate nonperishable food items at the farmers market collection bins located at the market tables, donate to AFAC, or volunteer your time.
Culpepper Gardens: Arlington’s affordable housing for low-income seniors, Culpepper Gardens has a garden dedicated to providing the aging population fresh, nutritious food. We are happy to make a monetary contribution to this project each year!
Learn more about Field to Table’s Community Outreach here.
Here is the complete vendor list and map. This is Atlixco’s Mexican Grill’s last weekend at the market! Harvest Hues and Yalla Falastin will be absent this weekend.
