Here’s Where ALIVE! is Hosting Food Distributions This Week in Alexandria

ALIVE! is hosting three free food distributions this week in Alexandria, and the nonprofit is offering shelf stable groceries, produce and eggs for hungry families.

“People are encouraged to drive through,” the city said in a release. “Walks-ups should maintain 6 feet social distance, wear a face mask and bring carts or reusable bags to carry food home.”

The distributions will be held on:

The nonprofit has given out hundreds of thousands of pounds of food since the pandemic started in March, and is also currently in need of volunteers.
