Get Involved as an Advocate

We can end hunger when we raise our voices together.

As demand for food assistance continues to grow, you can help make sure everyone has enough to eat.

You are not alone in this desire to end hunger. 

A new poll released by Feeding America shows nearly 70% of likely voters in the United States want the government to do more to address food insecurity.

The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is committed to providing nourishing food that supports health and well-being. Last year, we distributed 27 million pounds of food through a network of more than 400 community partners and program sites. 

But our work doesn’t stop there. As leaders in a dynamic food assistance network, we know community members need more support and your help. That’s why, to address hunger and its root causes, we are advocating for public policies that support food security.
