Feed More

Feedmore's food bank serves approximately one-third of the commonwealth of Virginia's area across 34 central Virginia cities and counties. In partnership with over 297 food pantries and soup kitchens, we distributed over 34 million pounds of produce, protein, and non-perishable foods in fy 2023, or approximately 93,000 pounds each day. In addition to the food distribution center, the food bank's other central programs include mobile pantry, which delivers groceries each month to approximately 3,900 households in 32 locations that do not have adequate access to a grocery store; and childhood nutrition programs kids' cafe (over 292,000 meals and snacks are served annually to 2,000 children), backpacks meals (annually nearly 342,000 are sent home with approximately 3,000 children representing 64 schools), which help ensure food-insecure children are nourished at the end of the school day and over weekends during the school year and at community sites during the summer.

The community kitchen is feedmore's production quality facility that prepares the meals and snacks provided through feedmore's central hunger relief programs. Each day, well-trained and certified staff and dedicated volunteers create meals that are nutritious, appealing, and reflect the individual needs of clients who have specific dietary needs. For More detail on any of these generally outline programs, please visit our website at feedmore.org or contact the feedmore development office at 804-716-3249.

Feedmore's central senior nutrition program, meals on wheels, provides up to two meals each day to over 3,000 homebound seniors who are unable to cook for themselves living in 21 cities and counties. Volunteers help prepare, pack, and deliver meals that reflect the medically necessary restrictions of 14 therapeutic diets to individuals living on one of 97 different delivery routes. Meals on wheels staff and volunteers also provide a daily safety check to these seniors helping ensure they are able to continue to live independently in a safe environment bringing comfort and confidence to both the client and his or her family.
