HOW YOU CAN HELP ADDRESS HUNGER HERE IN ARLINGTON

There are many ways that you can help AFAC help feed our neighbors in need.  It is our pledge and commitment to you that we will respectfully use your gift for the purpose for which it was given.

Because AFAC is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization, most gifts qualify for a tax deduction.  With your support, we can address the issues of hunger here in Arlington.

  1. MAIL your check, payable to the Arlington Food Assistance Center, to the following address: 2708 S. Nelson Street Arlington, VA 22206.

  2. BY PHONE, toll-free, using your VISA, MASTERCARD, AMERICAN EXPRESS, or DISCOVER, to (703) 845-8486.

  3. ONLINE, visit our secure website and charge your gift using your credit card.

  4. MONTHLY AUTO-DEDUCTIONS; authorize the Arlington Food Assistance Center to debit your bank account or charge your credit card each month for a specified amount.  You can stop at any time.

  5. GIFTS OF FINANCIAL SECURITIES AND REAL ESTATE; donate stocks, bonds, or real property.  When you give a gift of real property, stocks or bonds, you may claim an income tax charitable deduction based on full market value of the gift, avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated value, and eliminate certain costs associated with the transfer of real property.

  6. PLANNED GIVING is an important way for you to financially plan today to make a substantial gift to AFAC, either now or in the future.  Typical planned gifts include bequest, trusts, and gifts of life insurance.  You may designate AFAC as a beneficiary of all or a portion of your estate.

  7. EMPLOYER MATCHING GIFTS; matching gifts from your employer can expand the impact of your contribution.  To find out if your company or your spouse's company offers a matching gift program, contact your company's human resources department for the necessary forms.  After you complete the required information, please return the form to our Development Department, or send it with your contribution.  

  8. TRIBUTE/MEMORIAL GIFTS; you can make a donation in honor or in memory of a family member, friend, an individual, or in recognition of a special occasion.  A memorial gift express what words alone cannot and provides important support for AFAC.  AFAC will notify the person or family being acknowledged without mention of the gift.

  9. AFAC is approved for participation in the Combined Federal Campaign.  Federal, military, and postal employees may designate their payroll deduction contribution by marking 19265 on their CFC pledge card.
