AFAC works to relieve long-term food insecurity in Arlington County and nearby jurisdictions. AFAC focuses its food offerings on the high-cost items in a grocery basket that are essential for a healthy, nutritious diet, which are often avoided by low-income families - proteins (chicken, fish, hotdogs & ground beef), fresh fruit & vegetables, eggs, and milk among a number of culturally important food products. This allows families to reduce their food budget to make other necessary purchases without sacrificing their health, housing, or nutritional needs. AFAC operates its main distribution site out of their warehouse/headquarters at 2708 South Nelson Street and distributes food at 20 other locations around Arlington County. This includes a Home Delivery service for home-bound individuals in need of food. In the year ended June 30, 2025, AFAC served an average of 4,201 families each week just under 12,000 individuals, a third of whom are children under the age of 18. In total, 8,455 unique families were served during 199,820 visits for food. This was an 8.9% percent increase over the previous year (FY24) which saw a 30.4% on top of the FY23 increase of 29.4 percent increase. This increase in families has significantly strained AFAC's resources by requiring the purchase of over $1 million in additional food to be distributed to AFAC's families. AFAC works in close cooperation with the Arlington County Department of Human Services, the Arlington Public Schools, and over 20 other social safety net nonprofits to refer families in need of food to AFAC. With a referral, a family can receive free groceries once a week for six months. A referral can be renewed as long as a social worker believes the family will continue to benefit from AFAC's services. AFAC collects donated food from local grocery stores, farmers' markets, community gardens, local farms, congregations, schools, businesses, community organizations, and from numerous food drives conducted by or on behalf of AFAC. The donated food is brought to AFAC where it is weighed, sorted, and prepared for distribution to the many families that rely on AFAC for help. In addition to 1.4 million pounds of donated food, AFAC distributed nearly 3.7 million pounds of food purchased from local and national wholesale and retail distributors for a total of 5.1 million pounds distributed to its families in the year ended June 30, 2025.AFAC relies on the support of numerous individuals, businesses, foundations, and Arlington County to provide the financial resources, donated food, and the volunteer services essential to the operation of AFAC. Over 2,700 volunteers provided 51,000 hours of time to AFAC, the equivalent of 25 full-time employees. 8119461 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 29 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 15 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 VA X The Organization 7038458486 2708 South Nelson Street Arlington VA 222060261 Erica Beardsley Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Linda Kelleher Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jason Ruggiero Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeri Somers Secretary 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Bollman Immediate Past Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Stephen Brady Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Chmelik Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Timothy Hart Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Lee Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Miguel Monteverde Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kami D Ragsdale Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Grace Shea Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Tanenbaum Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Van Kirk Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Vasquez Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Charles Meng CEO 40.00 X 257120 0 19240 Jolie Smith Development Director 40.00 X 217086 0 46533 Vicky Bandalo Director of Operations 40.00 X 115738 0 5206 Danielle Rampton Director of Volunteer Services 40.00 X 108122 0 42848 Tyree Speight Assistant Director of Operations 40.00 X 104800 0 16920 Lily Duran Director of Client Services 40.00 X 101696 0 44711 904562 0 175458 7 0 1 0 0 595910 1602869 7449741 2528066 9648520 256147 256147 1915163 1659961 255202 255202 255202 119942 595910 119942 0 10159869 0 0 511349 2528066 2528066 234135 166012 21415 46708 1896192 1337820 174485 383887 63064 47205 5376 10483 472262 353505 40255 78502 162153 118832 12980 30341 33437 33437 182151 26879 140647 14625 30851 22290 2357 6204 93998 93235 231 532 18719 11445 4645 2629 313613 300974 3996 8643 25439 25439 Food purchases 2802255 2802255 Warehouse supplies 87534 87534 Other expense 71914 53578 17927 409 Program transportation 68468 53203 15265 204317 116628 12682 75007 9288568 8119461 511137 657970 1143537 1639469 159449 220168 92182 112430 19940 18080 5653728 2052973 3863066 3600755 6960471 7667774 8120 10737 12246765 13269413 331162 289727 10000 17575 1642 0 342804 307302 X 11903961 12962111 11903961 12962111 12246765 13269413 871301 186849 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10275299 8559742 8145571 9394577 9648520 46023709 10275299 8559742 8145571 9394577 9648520 46023709 602641 45421068 17659 216270 148156 210385 256147 848617 46872326 0.96900 0.96950 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 697401 697401 4096121 1430453 2665668 620332 430320 190012 239874 192200 47674 3600755 X 10313281 186849 186849 10126432 33437 33437 10159869 9255131 0 9255131 33437 33437 9288568 Part X, Line 2: AFAC is exempt from federal income tax as a nonprofit organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code and is classified as an organization other than a private foundation.
