Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

IN FISCAL YEAR 2023, AFAC PROVIDED GROCERIES TO 6,586 FAMILIES MADE UP OF 16,005 INDIVIDUALS, RESIDING IN ARLINGTON COUNTY AND NEARBY COMMUNITIES - 33.5% OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE CHILDREN (5,375) UNDER THE AGE OF 18. AN AVERAGE OF 2,705 FAMILIES WERE SERVED EACH WEEK AT S NELSON ST OR AT ONE OF 15 OTHER DISTRIBUTION SITES AROUND THE COUNTY FOR A TOTAL OF 140,635 ANNUAL VISITS TO RECEIVE THEIR WEEKLY GROCERIES. VISITS TO AFAC INCREASED 29.5% OVER THE PRIOR FISCAL YEAR. AFAC HAS ALSO CONTINUED THE HOME DELIVERY PROGRAM STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC TO BRING GROCERIES TO ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS WHO CANNOT LEAVE THEIR HOMES TO GET FOOD. THE MISSION OF AFAC IS TO ADDRESS LONG-TERM FOOD INSECURITY RATHER THAN PROVIDE EMERGENCY NEED AS IS STANDARD AT OTHER FOOD PANTRIES. AFAC RECEIVED NEARLY 1.5 MILLION POUNDS OF DONATED FOOD FROM GROCERY STORES, INDIVIDUALS, AND THROUGH FOOD DRIVES AT CONGREGATIONS, SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS. IN ADDITION, AFAC PURCHASED ANOTHER 2.5 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD FOR DISTRIBUTION TO OUR FAMILIES. IN TOTAL, AFAC DISTRIBUTED 4 MILLION POUNDS OF FOOD - OF WHICH 2.5 MILLION WERE PURCHASED AT A COST OF $1.9 MILLION. AS A RESULT OF THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES SERVED, AFAC SPENT $600,000 MORE THAN HAD BEEN BUDGETED.AFAC FOCUSES ITS FOOD PURCHASES ON THE HIGH COST ITEMS IN A GROCERY BASKET THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO A HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS DIET. IT IS OFTEN THESE ITEMS THAT ARE AVOIDED BY OUR FAMILIES IN FAVOR OF LOWER COST ITEMS THAT ARE CHEAPER BUT OFTEN CONTAIN HIGH LEVELS OF FAT AND SUGAR AND ARE HIGHLY PROCESSED. THIS RESULTS IN OBESITY IN CHILDREN, TYPE 2 DIABETES IN ADULTS, AND HYPERTENSION IN THE ELDERLY. DURING A VISIT A FAMILY WILL SELECT FROM A VARIETY OF HEALTHY, NUTRITIOUS FOODS INCLUDING MILK, EGGS, BEEF, CHICKEN AND FISH, FRESH FRUIT & VEGETABLES, PASTA, SAUCES, CEREALS, BREADS, AND A NUMBER OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. DURING THEIR VISIT, A FAMILY WILL RECEIVE AN AVERAGE OF 29 POUNDS OF FOOD.
