About Us

Providing Hope

The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank exists for a few very simple reasons: Food sustains life. It restores options. It provides hope.

We are an emergency food assistance agency that serves an average of 104,000 people each month, a record in the Food Bank’s history. Last year, we distributed nearly 18 million meals to hungry families across the Blue Ridge. We expect to serve even more this year.
