Every day the hungry turn to us.
Hunger is a community issue we can't ignore.
It's everywhere we look. And allowing people in our midst to go hungry,
even for a day, is a reflection on us all.

Sometimes we turn to you.
For more than 25 years we've relied on public generosity to help us feed the hungry and improve the health of our community.
What is a Food Bank?
The Foodbank is a warehouse or "bank" where recovered and contributed food is collected, sorted and distributed to over 500 agencies including church pantries and area Kids Cafes who then disburse or prepare and serve the food to those in need.
Our Mission:
The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia promotes food recovery; acquires and distributes food, clothing and related products; and provides community leadership and education on issues of hunger and poverty.
Three ways you can make a difference:
Foodbank can purchase
foods needed to provide balanced meals and support the operation of all our programs.
Thousands like you give their time and talent, helping in the office, warehouse and
distribution sites.
Food drives are
wonderful opportunities
to contribute directly
to those in need.
