We would like to thank New Mt Zion Lutheran Church for their donation of 177 cans of pasta for a total of 167 pounds of food equal to $320.64.

Every summer, children in our community lose access to the school breakfasts and lunches they depend on during the academic year. For families already struggling to make ends meet, the summer months create even greater food insecurity and difficult choices about how to provide healthy meals for their children.

To help meet this need, the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry’s Summer Food Program provides children in Blacksburg and McCoy with bags of food throughout June, July, and August to help replace the meals they no longer receive at school.
This year, through the GiveLocalNRV campaign, we are raising funds to do more than provide food—we want to provide healthier food. Your support will help us add fresh fruits and vegetables to these summer food bags, giving children access to nutritious foods that many families cannot regularly afford.

Fresh produce is often one of the first items families must forgo when budgets are tight. The cost of fruits and vegetables, transportation barriers, and time constraints make it difficult for many parents to provide the healthy meals they want for their children.

Your gift can help change that.
Surpassing our $3,000 goal for the summer food program will allow us to provide additional fruit for all our customers, specifically oranges and pears.
With your support, children in our community will not only have food during the summer months but will also have access to fresh fruits and vegetables that support their health, growth, and well-being.

We would like to say a special THANK YOU to Clinton Transfer and Storage. They have helped the Pantry with two large projects. First, they stored over 15,000 pounds of food that we received from the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints until we could organize its distribution to our Pantry and several others. Second, when Agape received 30 - 100 pounds of rice from a tractor trailer accident. Clinton storage the rice until we could pick it up. We will be repacking the rice into 1 pound bags for distribution.

THANK YOU to the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints who generously shared with us a large donation of food. We received so much that we were able to share with Agape, the Giles mission, and Eagles Nest Ministry in Floyd. We received spaghetti noodles and sauce, macaroni noodles, salsa, peanut butter, flour, nonfat dry milk, black beans, and macaroni and cheese. We are so grateful.
