COVID-19 Update

Our food needs are almost constantly changing.  A team of shoppers goes to several stores to get what is needed most at the lowest price. In place of food, monetary donations are always welcome.  A check can be written to ACCA Inc. and mailed to ACCA, 7200 Columbia Pike, Annandale VA 22003

We will continue to collect donations on Saturday mornings from 9 am. – noon through September 26 at the food pantry located at 7200 Columbia Pike (trailer separate from the day care center) in Annandale.  Weekday food collections will take place from 1 – 5 p.m.  

Beginning in October, we will accept food donations at the pantry on 2 Saturdays per month from 9 until 11:30 a.m. Here are the dates for the Saturday collections beginning in October:

October 10 and 24

November 7 and 21

December 5 and 19

Pantry volunteers are following social distancing guidelines while volunteering at the pantry and we encourage visitors to keep the health and safety of our volunteers in mind while donating.  An updated list of needed items is below:

How We Help

ACCA provides emergency food for individuals and families referred by social workers and ACCA member churches. Volunteer “food captains” receive these requests and arrange for volunteer drivers to pick up the food from the ACCA Food Pantry and deliver it to client’s home.

ACCA member churches and many local community groups donate food for the ACCA Pantry. Two of the largest annual food drives are organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers in May and the Boy Scouts in November. If you would like to organize a food drive or volunteer with the Food Pantry, please contact:  pantry@accacares.org

To request food, contact the Fairfax County Coordinated Services Planning office at 703-222-0880.
