Call for Help: Annandale and Local Groups Need Supplies

We're compiling a list of these groups that need food, water, fans or volunteers over the next several days.

Post information about local groups in need in the comments or email erica.hendry at patch.com to be added to the list.

Please try to include as much information as possible, such as a contact person and phone number, address, name of organization and best hours to stop by.

We will update this list as often as we're able.

Our Daily Bread does not provide non-perishable items to clients, but rather these small gift cards that they are able to use to purchase the non-perishable goods that are best suited for their dietary needs. You can visit www.ODBFairfax.org to make a donation." Gift cards can be dropped off at the office between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Friday. Find directions here.703.273.8829
