Our Mission, Vision, & Core Beliefs
We are called to serve the growing numbers of community members who are living with hunger in the Blue Ridge region.
This non-profit that started in 1981 as a “rural experiment in food banking” has grown to become the largest hunger-relief organization in central and western Virginia. With a service area that covers about a third of the state, the Food Bank is 1 of 7 food banks in Virginia and a partner food bank of Feeding America.
As a community food bank, we rely on generous community support to meet our mission. In fact, the Food Bank family includes hundreds of partners, more than a thousand active volunteers, and thousands of food and financial donors, in addition to a cadre of passionate staff.
