Our Story
Arlington Bridge Builders seeks to radically love our neighbors, just as Jesus did. In the bustling environment of Northern Virginia, it is easy to overlook the hidden needs of those around us. ABB is dedicated to raising awareness of these needs and providing hope to individuals and families facing challenges. Through the operation of the second largest food pantry in Arlington, open three weekdays and offering weekend deliveries, ABB addresses food insecurity by serving 14,000 people annually with nearly 80,000 pounds of food, including meat and produce.
In addition to food assistance, ABB provides rental and housing support, as well as life skills training to empower individuals to succeed at home, in school, and in the workplace. A Care Coordinator is available to assess both physical and spiritual challenges, connecting individuals to faith communities and additional resources. By fostering a network of partnerships with local organizations and churches, ABB works to fill the gaps in support for our neighbors.
