Rooted in Health: The Farm Fresh Fund
The intertwined roots of hunger and health run deep. When families struggle financially to make ends meet, it limits their food choices and ultimately affects their health. We know that access to good nutrition can improve health, and we want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Fruits and Vegetables:
Building Blocks for Better Health
Healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals at every age:
- Children: Fresh foods nourish growth, learning, and development.
- Adults: Wholesome meals fuel healthier workers and help parents provide nourishment for their families.
- Seniors: Food is medicine, essential to managing illness, promoting longevity, and maintaining wellness.
Thanks to the Farm Fresh Fund we acquire millions of pounds of fresh produce, with an emphasis on Virginia-grown produce, and provide it free to our network of pantry and program partners.
Help Build a Healthier Tomorrow
