For the past thirty years, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia has worked toward the primary mission of leading the effort to eliminate hunger in our community. Over the years the Foodbank has grown in size and impact, increasing pounds of food distributed and the nutrition value of distributed food.
In order to meet this challenge, the Foodbank acts as the number one safety net for the region’s hungry by distributing emergency food to a web of over 325 partner agencies including soup kitchens, faith-based pantries, neighborhood centers, family crisis centers, senior centers, and homeless shelters for adults and children. The Foodbank receives food from restaurants, supermarkets, food distributors, the USDA, farmers, wholesalers, sportsmen, food and fund drives, and through purchased product when donations alone simply cannot meet demand. Our national network affiliation, Feeding America™, also has memorandums of understanding with the Red Cross, Salvation Army, and EFSP. The Foodbank, and food banks across the country, act as the food component in disaster relief efforts.
