Get Involved

Every action counts in the effort to solve hunger.

At the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, we work hard alongside our food pantry and program partners to ensure that everyone has enough food to eat. But the truth is, we are a community food bank, supported by you and here to serve. And we need many hands and hearts to achieve our shared vision: Nourishing food and good health—for everyone, every day.

From the donors that fund our critical programs to the volunteers who pack and distribute food, we need people like you. Here are some ideas that can help you make an impact locally:

Donate Funds

Make a monthly or one-time donation to help feed neighbors facing hunger. Every $1 donated helps provide 4 meals to people living in the Blue Ridge area.
