Food insecurity continues for many families, and with your help, our goal is to collect and donate 40,000 pounds of food for our local food pantries and food bank, ALIVE! This initiative runs from July 1 until August 14 and is hosted and implemented by Volunteer Alexandria. We need YOUR help to make this happen. 

We call on sponsors, donors, volunteers, and businesses to help us make this annual Food4ALX a success! All of the items collected will directly benefit members of the Alexandria community in need of food assistance. Check out DROP OFF LOCATIONS.

Are you ready to say YES and join Food4ALX?
