Sat. 5/31 Kiwanis UCM Food Drive - Hollin Hall Safeway

Help stock the UCM Food Pantry!

UCM is grateful to the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Club for hosting UCM Food Drives several times per year at the Hollin Hall Safeway - 7900 Fort Hunt Rd. in Alexandria.

Bring your donations Sat. May 31 from 9am to 5pm. 
 
Look for the UCM Food Pantry Truck parked out front of the store!

We especially appreciate donations of heart-healthy food items including:

* Low-sodium canned goods (vegetables, tuna, meat, pasta dishes)
* Low-sugar cereals
* Whole grain pasta
* Protein and energy bars

Thanks for caring!

Each week day, an average 80-100 families depend on groceries at UCM’s client-choice Cynthia Hull Food Pantry which is part of a continuum of services to stabilize, empower, and engage low-income families.  For most of UCM’s clients, stability comes first:  food, housing, medicine. Once stable, families and individuals benefit from education and work opportunities on multiple levels.Learn more about United Community Ministries, including volunteer opportunities, at www.ucmagency.org
