What does it mean to be an AOLC beneficiary?
A beneficiary-hopeful must be a group or organization helping people that align with our mission and values and serve in our focus areas. AOLC supports other nonprofits and organizations in the Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. areas that help people with housing and food security, special health needs, mental health and wellness, equity and inclusion and more.
HOW does my organization apply?
Our beneficiary application period for 2024 has ended. Please check back November 2024 for our 2025 beneficiary opportunity.
2023 beneficiary
Haymarket Regional Food Pantry is essential to our community.
Virginia-based 501(c)3 nonprofit, Haymarket Regional Food Pantry's website states:
"Food insecurity and need can hit anyone; forcing people to choose between buying food and paying utilities, or parents not feeding themselves to make sure their children are fed first. It could be your neighbor, your child’s teacher, or someone you see every day. When food insecurity hits, we’re here to help."
"Since 2005, we’ve helped families in our communities get the food, essentials, and support they need right now. And because hunger doesn’t follow the calendar, we give food to those who need it every week. So, when our neighbors come to us for help, we say yes."
Therefore, it was an easy choice for AOLC to support this important cause!
