Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) Warehouse

UVA alumni, parents, and friends are taking on Virginia Tech alumni in a charity race again this year! From November 1st until December 12th, the UVA Club of Washington, DC is competing against the DC Hokies to see which school&#x27;s club can collect more donations to benefit the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC). If we win, Virginia Tech’s Alumni Association will donate $50 to the UVA Club of Washington, DC&#x27;s Scholarship Fund! <a href="https://afac.org/campaign/hoo-wants-to-beat-tech-9th-annual-uva-vs-vt-food-drive-competition/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Donate online here</a>.As part of the drive, join us for a family-friendly event at AFAC’s warehouse to bag, produce, and sort food into individual portions for distribution to the 2,300+ client families who come to AFAC each week. You can also bring food donations to the event to be weighed and counted towards our tally. AFAC recommends the following low-sugar and low-sodium items: canned tuna, canned soup, canned vegetables, peanut butter (in plastic jars), and cereal. This popular event typically fills up fast and space is limited, so sign up ASAP! Due to the limited space and COVID-19 restrictions, attendees will be charged $20/group (up to 4) to reserve their spot; fund will go towards our online drive for AFAC.
