You can receive food by visiting the food pantry or soup kitchen when it’s open. Make sure to check each resource page to see details like address, full schedule, and requirements.
Delivery services are very limited and are reserved for senior citizens or those with serious medical problems. If you believe you fall into either category, let us know and we may be able to help you find options in Newington.
Every location is different! Please review the details included on each resource to see whether you need to bring any documentation like ID or proof of address, or supplies like bags to carry the food. If you don’t see any information on the resource, you don’t have to bring anything!

Arcadia's Mobile Market is a rolling farm stand that has brought locally grown, sustainable food directly to under-resourced Washington, DC neighborhoods since 2012. Each weekly stop distributes fresh fruits and vegetables, herbs, pastured eggs, grass-fed and pastured meats, organic dairy, cheese, handmade bread, and honey, while accepting and doubling the face value of SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Senior FMNP so shoppers can stretch their food dollars. The program partners with FRESHFARM's Produce Plus initiative to provide free produce to DC residents with limited fresh-food access, and serves neighborhoods that lack nearby grocery options for a healthy diet.
