Fighting Hunger Together: Our Initiatives to End Food Insecurity
Feeding Our Neighbors
Our food security efforts, in partnership with Woodland Acres Elementary School, Feeding Northeast Florida, and The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida, aim to combat food insecurity through multiple initiatives. We provide essential food resources through the Arlington Market Pantry and the on-campus pantry at Woodland Acres Elementary.
The Arlington Market Pantry serves guests of all ages, ethnicities, and languages, with no income or geographical restrictions. Distributions take place on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM by appointment only. Guests must arrive in a vehicle, bring proof of their appointment, and remain in their car while volunteers load food packages into the trunk. This drive-thru distribution is held at Impact Christian Academy at Regency.
The Woodland Acres Elementary Family Resource Room Pantry is dedicated to ensuring that students and their families have access to food right on campus. This on-site pantry provides immediate assistance to those in need, reinforcing our commitment to fighting hunger within the school community. In addition, we serve families at Woodland Acres Elementary School on the third Friday of each month during the school year, ensuring ongoing food support for students and their households.
Through these efforts, we are proud to work alongside Woodland Acres Elementary School and our community partners to ensure that families in Arlington have reliable access to food and resources. Together, we are making a lasting impact in the fight against food insecurity.
