Building a home for Arlington EATS
Our Vision
In the fall of 2021, Arlington EATS will move into a newly constructed space at 117 Broadway. For the first time in our thirty-year history, all of our operations will be under one roof, dramatically increasing efficiency. We must raise $1.25 million to realize this vision.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, EATS served more than 1,800 Arlington residents who were facing food insecurity. Our community’s needs have never been greater. Our new home will support our food security work immediately and will give us room to grow — making Arlington a community where no child, family, or senior goes hungry.
Project Features:
2,700 square feet of space
Within walking distance of seven low-income census tracts
A van for home delivery services
2,700 Arlington residents will be served annually
Built for ADA compliance
An environment that creates a dignified shopping experience
A 50% increase in pounds of food distributed weekly

This project improves
Access to food
EATS will expand Market hours — from three hours a week to at least twelve hours a week. Our school snack program will have centralized operations to more efficiently serve children. A van will allow for continued home deliveries. More neighbors will be able to count on EATS for nutritious food.
Flexibility and connection
The building is designed to be flexible. The large multipurpose room will serve as a classroom for volunteer education, a waiting room for the Market, and an event space. It can be easily adapted to stage emergency responses.
Storage and food quality
EATS has access to an array of fresh produce, dairy, and protein — but lacks the capacity to store it. We will more than double our refrigerator and freezer capacity and double our storage space for nonperishable goods.

Donate to the Capital Campaign
Our goal is to engage the community in eliminating food insecurity and hunger in Arlington. We know it’s possible with neighbors like you. We’ve come a long way together, growing to serve more guests each year, and educating our community about the root causes of food insecurity. Building a home for Arlington EATS puts this goal within reach!

No child or family should go hungry in Arlington. Your devotion to families with food insecurity makes a tremendous difference to the entire local community! Whether it is supporting people in constant need or periodic need, they will always have a place to go where they will be served with respect and understanding. Thanks to all of you and may your goal be realized soon during this most unprecedented time of hardship. Please stay healthy and safe! Best, Andrea Gingrande, Director Bright Start Afterschool, Inc.
