FCA Partners With Capital Area Food Bank
FCA will partner with Capital Area Food Bank to continue providing free fresh food at the Park Shirlington distribution site. Starting in November, FCA will officially take over responsibility for the market from Abingdon staff, who managed it during the pilot year. Park Shirlington and Shirlington House are also part of FCA’s civic association jurisdiction.
The entire Fairlington community is invited to volunteer at the pop-up market, which sets up in the parking lot adjacent to the Park Shirlington leasing office, 4510 31st St. S. The market is open to anyone looking for some additional help with groceries, and there are no residency restrictions.
The market occurs the first Wednesday of each month. Starting Wednesday, November 6, the distribution will occur from 2:30–4:30 p.m. Sign-ups for volunteers will be posted on the FCA and Abingdon Facebook pages. Please be on the lookout!
