Our Memorial Day Food Giveaway (partnering with Comunidad and The Chinese Christian Church of Virginia) served over 1,148 people who came to 6567 Arlington Boulevard by foot or car. This response was more than we ever expected! Our volunteers and coordinators anticipated up to 800 families but never imagined we would serve over 1,000 families. A total of over 31,455 pounds of food and hygiene products went out into our community.

Neighborhood and Global Engagement Coordinator Maralee Gutierrez writes, “On Saturday, two days before our Monday distribution, when we reached our production cap and we still had more inventory, we decided to keep on making more bundles of food and hygiene products in case more people showed up. I’m glad we did!”

We rely on prayer to bring about what only God can do. As we continue our daily 3-6 Drive-Thru Food Drive each afternoon, pray that our Father in heaven would be glorified (Matt. 5:16).
