Annandale United Methodist Church seeks to alleviate hunger in our community by providing food once a week to those in need. We distribute items donated by individuals, nonprofits, farmer markets and local food services and grocery stores, as well as food we purchase. We serve about 350 families a week, using a client-choice model. Every effort is made to have milk and fresh produce available regularly along with bread and canned and dry goods.
 
Important: This mission serves community members living in the 22003 Annandale zip code. Clients must register showing evidence (utility bill, driver’s license, etc.) of living in our service area. One registration card/food pickup per household per week. Persons living outside zip code 22003 will be given a small bag of food with information about other food sites in Fairfax County.

  • To receive food, come on Thursdays from 4-6:30 p.m.
  • To help us prepare and distribute food on Thursdays, sign up here.
  • To help pick up and transport food at variable times during the week when you are available, contact Bill Sinclair at billsinclair2@verizon.net or 703-966-8443
  • To donate food, please check with Barbra Pearson at barbjpearson@gmail.com for what we currently are low on. We always need more canned tuna (packed in water), canned fruit (in light syrup), box cereal (preferably not sugary), 1-pound rice (brown or white), 1-pound dried beans (any variety), jar peanut butter, and 1-pound spaghetti boxes (wheat or white).
Low Cost, Healthy Recipes
As part of Emily Bryceland's work towards her Girl Scout Gold Award, she worked with Betsy Clevenger, who founded and for many years led our food distribution program, to create recipe cards for the Annandale UMC food bank.
