Fresh fruits, friendly faces, and 28,000+ pounds of fresh fruits, vegetables, and protein distributed so far this year 🍎🥦 Our Silver Market brings nutritious groceries directly to income-eligible seniors in DC, offering a convenient farmer’s market-style experience. In May alone, 300 people attended the market — the most in a single month — and we heard how helpful these groceries are with rising grocery store prices.

Throughout his entire career, Congressman Gerry Connolly Connolly worked to address the needs of the underserved. He was a longstanding champion of CAFB’s work to provide the food our neighbors need to thrive, and it was only months ago that he joined us to celebrate the opening of the new Lorton, VA facility that his support had helped to realize. We are deeply saddened at his passing, and know that his legacy will live on in the countless lives he touched. (fb)
