The Arlington Ministerial Association brings together leaders from local congregations to address spiritual and practical needs within the community. The AMA aims to enhance the well-being of Arlington residents through collaborative efforts and outreach programs.

Key Initiatives:
• Arlington Backpack Program: This program provides pre-packaged food to children in need, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals outside of school hours. Bags are packed by the Backpack Committee on Thursday evenings and delivered to the school on Friday mornings, where teachers discreetly place them in the children’s book bags. For more information or to get involved, contact any of the local pastors or school administration. 
• Food Assistance: In addition to the Backpack Program, the AMA offers food assistance through a pantry located in the Arlington Methodist Church. Community members in need are encouraged to reach out for support. 

Participating Churches:
• Trinity Lutheran Church
• Arlington Methodist Church
• Calvary Free Lutheran Church
• St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church
