PARTNER WITH US
Your business has the power to make a lasting impact in our community. By partnering with us, you help ensure that local students facing food insecurity have access to the nourishment they need to thrive—both in and out of school.
Together, we can fight student hunger and build a stronger community.

Why Partner with Us?
Hunger is a daily reality for many students in our community. In Northern Virginia, over 25% of students rely on free or reduced-price school meals—but what happens when school is out? Weekends, holidays, and breaks can mean empty plates for children who depend on school for their only reliable meals.
At Food For Neighbors, we provide supplemental food to middle and high school students throughout Northern Virginia. But the demand for assistance is growing, and our resources are stretched thin.
This is where you come in. When your business partners with us, you’re not just giving—you’re transforming lives. Your support helps ensure that no child in our community goes hungry, while also demonstrating your company’s commitment to making a meaningful local impact.
Together, we can bridge the gap and fight student hunger. Will you join us?

“Amazon Fresh is committed to being a great neighbor, and it is important to us to support students in elementary, middle, and high school so they have the food they need to succeed.” —Jim Gillespie, District Manager, Amazon Fresh
Soon after Food For Neighbors (FFN) began coordinating its rollout of services to Arlington Public Schools, Amazon offered its tremendous support. The timing could not have been more perfect! Food For Neighbors extends a huge thank you to Amazon for its $155,000 donation! The funds helped establish food pantries in four Arlington schools—Wakefield High, Arlington Community High, Arlington Career Center, and Gunston Middle. This support enables FFN to continue providing nutritious food to students in need, particularly on weekends or during breaks.
