Proceeds from the Taste of Annandale help the 2Twenty Club provide meals for students

The Annandale-Mason Roundtable, the nonprofit that organized the Taste of Annandale, donated $1,000 to the 2Twenty Club on April 26.

The funds come from the revenue raised at the community festival at the Eileen Garnett Civic Space on Sept. 20, 2025.

In thanking the Roundtable for the donation, 2Twenty Club President Sook Moon said, “Your contribution will meaningfully provide weekend meals for children from low-income families in our community.”

Dozens of 2Twenty Club members gather at the Korean Community Center on Little River Turnpike in Annandale once a month to assemble packages of food for students in Title I schools. The packages are dropped off at the schools on Friday afternoons and distributed to children from needy households.

The group delivers weekend meals to 12 schools, including these schools in the Annandale/Mason District area: Annandale Terrace, Bailey’s, Bailey’s Upper, Braddock, Bren Mar Park, and Woodburn elementary schools and Poe Middle School.

They plan to add a 13th school next fall, Moon said, but haven’t yet decided which one.

Each school gets 50 meal packages containing enough food for two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, two snacks, and two drinks.

The club donates $1,000 in gift cards to each school in the summer to pass on to lower-income families.

Moon started the 2Twenty Club in 2017. It now has 400 members. The group’s name comes from the requirement that members contribute two volunteer hours and $20 a month.

Many members bring their children to the food packaging events to teach them the value of community service.
