Who qualifies & what to bring

Service area
Arlington County. Coming from outside that area? Call first. Many still help in an emergency.
ID
A photo ID of any kind. It doesn't have to be a driver's license.
Proof
They may ask for proof of address (a piece of mail or a utility bill).

In their words: “Must be a resident of Arlington County. Must provide photo ID and proof of current address. Referral from a social service agency, school, or other partnering agency is required to receive food on a continuing basis; visitors without a referral can only receive food once.”

This is our best read of what Arlington Food Assistance Center has posted. Requirements change, so it's worth a quick call to confirm.
