We gladly accept all food donations, large or small!
Whether you are hosting a food drive, moving and need to clean out your pantry, or have a surplus of unmarketable product, we will responsibly distribute your donations safely and efficiently to families in need across central and western Virginia.
You can drop off food products for donation at our warehouses in Verona, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, and Winchester between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
To host a special event, food drive, or fund drive for the Food Bank, download our Hunger Hero Toolkit for resources and guidelines.
We partner with retail stores to keep close-to-expiration items out of the waste stream.
Large food donations from manufacturers, distributors, and processors are critical to meeting the needs of hungry families.
We work with local growers to supply healthy, fresh produce to neighbors in need.
Throughout the hunting season, hunters are encouraged to donate deer through the Hunters for the Hungry program.
The food we distribute to guests in the Blue Ridge region comes from generous donations, is purchased by our fantastic food sourcing team, or is provided to the Food Bank by the USDA. Learn more about where our food comes from here.
