Dulles South Food Pantry

The Dulles South Food Pantry is a multi-faith food pantry. We provide nutritious food, personal supplies and other services to those in need in Dulles South and the surrounding area regardless of income, faith or other criteria and strive to promote self-sufficiency. The food pantry has an active Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/dullessouthfoodpantry.org. Core Values: Guest Dignity: Guests come from all walks of life and living situations. Whatever their cultural, religious, racial or ethnic background, each guest should be treated with love, dignity and respect. We protect guest privacy and keep the guests information and circumstances confidential to ensure we are a safe place to get food and help. Strengthen Community: The DSFP actively seeks to involve the entire community in its effort to feed the hungry and assist the needy of Dulles South. The Pantry brings the community (adults and youth) together by seeking and utilizing community donations (food, monetary and services) from a wide-range of groups, organizations and individuals. Volunteer Involvement: Volunteers are the life blood of DSFP and we strive to ensure they are adequately trained, have a good experience and are not placed in uncomfortable situations. The pantry seeks to actively involve many volunteers believing that a widespread personal investment in the DSFP mission strengthens the organization. Cooperation with Arcola UMC: The facilities DSFP utilizes are donated from Arcola United Methodist Church and have multiple users. We strive to ensure we follow Arcola Church guidelines and fully coordinate (and gain approval of) any changes we want to make. Food Safety: We ensure that the food we distribute meets applicable governmental regulations, industry standards and is healthy and nutritious.
