Participate in the "Holiday Challenge"

The Arlington Food Assistance Center (www.afac.org) is serving approximately 1,500 client families every week in need of extra food assistance this holiday season.

Clients appreciate cooking staples, such as sugar, cooking oil (no glass please) and flour. Our goal is to collect 1500 of each by December 15th.

Please challenge your co-workers, friends, and family to help us meet this goal by holding a holiday food drive: http://afac.org/get_involved/drive.php
