The Kiwanis Club of Arlington is taking orders for 10-pound boxes of blueberries, the 11th year of bringing the community nutritious and delicious offerings to raise funds for youth.
“They’re so good you’ll think you picked them yourself!” the service club said of the offerings, which originate in the blueberry fields of a New Jersey family farm and arrive in Arlington just days after picking.
Berries are expected to arrive in Arlington June 20 and be available for pick up June 21 and 22 at Cherrydale Methodist Church.
The cost is $45 per 10-pound box, and local residents also can purchase boxes for distribution to families in need by the Arlington Food Assistance Center. (Last year, more than a ton of blueberries were donated to AFAC through the initiative.)
Proceeds from blueberry sales benefit the Kiwanis scholarship program for Arlington high-school graduates and grants to non-profit organizations such as Arlington Thrive, Bridges to Independence, Doorways, the Salvation Army, National Capital Treatment & Recovery, VHC Pediatrics, Arlington YMCA, ASPIRE! After-School Learning and many others.
