This November: Mount Vernon Triangle Food Drive Returns!

Friday October 30, 2026

The season of giving officially starts Saturday here in Mount Vernon Triangle! Read more about how you can contribute below and please give what you can this season:

Donation Drop-Off Points:
We are thrilled to have once again partnered with the property managers at MVT residential and office buildings to host collection boxes in their lobbies. If you are a resident or employee at 400 Mass Apartments, 450K Apartments, 455 Mass, Association of American Medical Colleges, Cantata, Crosby, DC Bar, Lydian, Lyric, Madrigal Lofts, and Plaza West Grandfamilies you will be able to donate canned goods or non-perishable food items without ever going outside! (Don’t see your property on the list? Speak with your building manager about getting a drop off spot added and a collection box will be delivered to your lobby!) 

Additionally, we’re continuing our partnership with FRESHFARM MVT Market to host a collection box at the FRESHFARM Welcome Tent located at 5th & I Streets NW from 9am-1pm on October 31, and November 7, 14, & 21 this year, and have expanded our public collection options by partnering with 7-Eleven to host a box at its 504 K Street location!

This Year’s Collection Partner: Capital Area Food Bank
For the second year, we have teamed up with Capital Area Food Bank because it partners with organizations in close proximity to Mount Vernon Triangle. This means that your donations will have a higher likelihood of benefitting neighbors in our own community.

Just Another Reason to Give: 
Lastly, we’re sweetening the deal a little for those who make a donation this year! We will have a QR code stationed next to the collection boxes so that anyone who gives has the opportunity to let us know they donated for a chance to win MVT Bucks from us! We will do weekly drawings on Wednesdays, November 4, 12, 18 & 25 so you can enter at any time!
