Food Access Program

The Food Access Program enhances communication and coordination among systems and agencies, identifies barriers to accessing healthy food, and oversees grants and contracts to provide food to residents of Fairfax County.

Emergency Food Access Map

We now offer a *NEW* food access resource that will help connect our community members to the location of emergency food distributions throughout Fairfax County.

If you see a location not included on the map or have questions regarding the application, email NCSFoodAccess@fairfaxcounty.gov. Make sure to call the provider listed on the map or email NCS Food Access before visiting a site to confirm they are open.
