Thanks to the generosity of our community, we raised approximately $100,000 and were able to distribute more than 4,800 boxes of fresh produce to Columbia Pike’s low-income residents from May to October 2020. With the growing season ending for our farmers, we have suspended this program for the winter.
We will continue to stay connected to our partners in the community and support ongoing efforts to battle food insecurity among Columbia Pike’s families.

About the Program
In discussions with our numerous partner organizations across Arlington County, it became clear that access to fresh food was becoming more difficult for Columbia Pike residents. While there are many amazing organizations and efforts underway to address this need, there were still significant barriers to access, including traveling to certain food distribution centers.
That’s why the Columbia Pike Partnership decided to work with our Columbia Pike Farmers Market vendors, partners, local pantries, and residential complexes to provide boxes of produce, fresh from the farm, directly to families in need on Columbia Pike.
Participating Vendors and Distribution Sites
Produce purchased from Penn Farm and Westmoreland Produce was distributed at Harvey Hall, Gilliam Place, and Our Lady Queen of Peace food pantry.
Thank You
Without your support, this program would not have been possible. Thank you to everyone who donated and helped us raise nearly $100,000 to feed our families in need on Columbia Pike!
