Many thanks to our local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for its generous donation of food to ACCA and several other local food banks.
The Annandale Stake sponsored its “Unpack the Truck & Stock the Pantry” event on Monday, Aug. 24, in the Sydenstricker Chapel parking lot. From Sydenstricker, smaller trucks were loaded with cases of food and delivered to six different food banks throughout Northern Virginia.
In partnership with the Church’s Welfare Square, friends from other faith communities, and local food pantries, volunteers helped unpack pallets of food from the surplus truck and distribute the goods to local pantries, including ACCA. We received more than 300 cases of food, which will help supply our pantry through the fall.
Many thanks to all the volunteers from ACCA and the Annandale Ward who helped unload, unpack, and shelve the food. We are grateful for their generosity and service to our community!
The truck from the Church of Latter-Day Saints arrives in Virginia from Utah.
