Market Common Clarendon Food Drive Nets 310 Pounds of Food for AFAC

May 27, 2020

Last weekend, the team at Market Common Clarendon teamed up with the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) to serve the local Arlington, VA community with a drive-through food drive. Appropriately named “Stop. Drop. & Drive.,” the socially distanced effort accumulated more than 310 pounds — equaling roughly 620 8 oz. cans — of non-perishable food donations.
