Community Service

Volunteer Abingdon community members assist Abingdon's social work team with two food distribution programs. Thanks to a grant from Real Food For Kids, and donations from the community, the Cardinal Caring Cupboard has served hundreds of Abingdon families since its inception in 2025.  The CCC accepts food donations as well direct donations via this site: Cardinal Caring Cupboard. 

In 2018, PTA helped reestablish a school garden at Abingdon. (The original was founded in 1991 and may have been the first in Arlington!) Since then, PTA members have joined with community gardeners a couple times each year for garden cleanup events. In 2024, PTA also helped plant a new pollinator garden by the car drop-off lane.

Each Winter, the PTA partners with the school social work team to collect and distribute winter coats to Abingdon families. Consider volunteering to help organize coats and ensure the right sizes get to the right kids.
