ALIVE!

💚 Be a neighbor who helps your neighbors 💚 

Over the last year alone, our Community Food Hubs supported more than 20,000 people during critical moments. Our Food Hubs are about more than groceries, they are community spaces were neighbors receive fresh food and resources to keep them moving forward.

This year, our Spring2ACTion goal is to raise $100,000

 Community Gift Milestones:

🍎 $25,000 buys enough food to fill a cargo van to support our food distribution partners

🚐 $50,000 buys ALIVE! a cargo van to help support our pantry network, food hubs, and furniture deliveries. 

🥫 $75,000 brings food to our 17 pantry partners across the city.

🛒 $100,000 stocks our two Community Food Hubs for a full year— enabling neighbors to access fresh food, support, and connection.

• Choose groceries for the entire household, including culturally appropriate and special dietary needs.
• Connect with ALIVE! Service Navigators for referrals to housing, employment, health services, and more.
• Join culturally relevant cooking classes with Virginia Cooperative Extension to learn delicious ways to prepare the foods they receive.
• Build financial confidence through ALIVE!’s partnerships with the United States Senate Federal Credit Union who provide financial wellness education on realistic budgeting, credit-building, and growing long term savings.
• Enjoy safe and joyful play time in collaboration with the Center for Alexandria’s Children.
