Throughout the months of January and February, FCPL is collecting donations of food for ACCA cares, Cornerstones, Facets, Food for Others, Koinonia Community Services, Lorton Community Action Center, Rising Hope Misson Church, Second Story, and Western Fairfax Christian Ministries. During this food drive, community members can drop off unexpired, commercially produced food items - see below for specific food requests - to any FCPL branch during regular hours.
Non-profits cannot accept homemade items, opened items, food that is not labeled, cooked food, glass containers or expired Items.
According to End Hunger in America, when we ask community members what food items they need or want, it "gives the people being served a sense of dignity and control, limits waste (since they tend not to take food they won’t use) and allows them to tailor the help they receive to be the best possible fit for their own unique situation."
