Mobile Distributions

Neighborhood Produce Markets and Mobile Food Pantries

standard header

We address hunger on a grassroots level to ensure that everyone has enough to eat, regardless of where they live.

When there isn’t a partner food pantry located in rural areas that have high food insecurity rates  or where access to fresh produce is very limited, we mobilize a Mobile Food Pantry or Neighborhood Produce Market. In this way, we bring fresh foods and shelf-stable food staples to our neighbors.
Mobile Food Pantries are drive-through style distributions, while Neighborhood Produce Markets are more farmer’s market style distributions.

Both these programs have no income requirements and are available to all.

Neighborhood Produce Market sites:

  • Charlottesville
  • Harrisonburg
  • Amherst County
  • Lynchburg
  • Appomattox County
  • Bedford County
  • Campbell County

Mobile Food Pantry sites:

  • Palmyra (Fluvanna County)
  • Scottsville (Albemarle County)
  • Timberville (Rockingham County)
