Rising gas\, housing\, utility and health care costs are putting added pressure on family budgets\, and m ore neighbors are finding themselves making impossible choices — like wh ether to fill the gas tank or the pantry\, buy fresh produce or medication \, or pay a utility bill or buy groceries. For many\, that means visiting a food pantry for the first time. \nAnd in Central Virginia\, we estimate that 1 in 9 neighbors experience food insecurity – and of that\, 1 in 6 children in our region don’t know where their next meal will come from. \nAt Feed More\, we’re working every day to ensure families\, children\, seniors and homebound neighbors have access to the nutritious food they n eed. But we can’t do it alone. Hunger Action Month is an opportunity for all of us to help make sure our neighbors can access healthy food for who lesome meals. \nHere are three ways you can take action:\n\nVolunteer: Fro m preparing and packaging food in our Bayard Community Kitchen or deliveri ng our Meals on Wheels\, there is something for everyone at Feed More. Mor ning and afternoon volunteer opportunities are available Monday through Fr iday. Register through our online volunteer portal at: FeedMore.org/volunt eer.\nStart a food drive: Supporters can drop off donations through our Kr oger Community Donation Center or 24/7 in our blue donation bins (8020 Vil la Park Drive\, Richmond\, VA 23228).\nDonate: Your financial support make s all our hunger-fighting programs possible. More than 97% of every gift g oes back into our programs and mission. Donate online here.
