Food Support for our Neighbors
Safeway Grocery Gift Cards
We are so grateful for all the ways you’ve helped to serve our neighbors. Thank you!
As we continue to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances during COVID-19, we are updating our plans to support approximately 40 Glebe Elementary School families in need of food assistance. While a food pantry worked well for a time, going forward, Restoration will partner with community residents to distribute Safeway grocery gift cards each week to approximately 40 Glebe families.
Safeway is the grocery store most easily accessible to the families, and distributing gift cards reduces the health and safety risks to both donors and recipients.
If you’d like to help:
Please purchase Safeway grocery gift cards ($10 and $25 preferred) and mail to Beth Tipps. (Please email beth@restorationarlington.org for her mailing address.) She will confirm gift card receipt and will coordinate with Glebe volunteers for distribution to families. **Please include receipt and your name to ensure all cards are able to be activated.**
