Cheers to the 57th graduating class of our Culinary Training Program!🎉

Last week, this incredible group celebrated the completion of three months of hard work, growth, and determination. Along the way, they built valuable kitchen skills, strengthened their confidence, and supported one another through every challenge.

✨ Join us in celebrating our newest graduates: Aaron, LaToya, Tinasia, and Kiera (not pictured)!

We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished. Your Foodbank family is cheering you on as you step into new opportunities and bright futures.

If you or someone you know needs food assistance, here’s what’s available this week across our service area.

Our drive-thru distribution sites continue to provide groceries for households in need, and our summer feeding sites in Hampton and Newport News are now open for children and teens. These locations offer free, on-site breakfast and lunch that must be eaten at the site.

For additional support, visit our website for the full Mobile Food Pantry schedule or use our Partner Agency directory by zip code to find help near you. You can also call us at (757) 596-7188.

Beginning June 15, 2026, the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank is participating in the Summer Food Service Program to help ensure children across the Greater Peninsula have access to free, nutritious meals while school is out.

During the summer months, many children lose access to the breakfast and lunch they rely on during the school year. These meals will help bridge that gap by providing breakfast and lunch at no cost for all children 18 years old and younger at participating sites throughout the community.

Meals are served on a first come, first served basis and are available at multiple locations across the region.

Rain or shine, our community showed up in a big way!

On Wednesday, Virginia Peninsula Foodbank partnered with Nexstar Media Group, Inc. and WAVY TV 10 for their Founder’s Day of Caring.

This drive comes at a critical time as we head into the summer months, when food banks often see a decrease in donations. Community support is especially important right now to help ensure children and families have continued access to the food they need to thrive.

Despite passing rain showers, donors didn’t let up. By the end of the day, more than 3,000 pounds of food were collected and immediately distributed to our partner agencies for local families. With additional monetary gifts, the event helped provide over 15,000 meals.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, donated, and helped make an impact for our community.

A heartfelt thank you to our partners at Langley Federal Credit Union for your continued support of the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank and our mission to fight hunger across our community.

Through generous sponsorships, volunteering, and grants, Langley has helped make programs like our Food Distribution Program, Kids Café Program, and Mobile Food Pantry possible. Our Food Distribution Program alone accounts for more than 70% of the food distributed from our warehouse, and Langley’s contribution has helped provide over 70,000 meals to neighbors facing food insecurity.

Because of partners like Langley, children have access to nutritious meals, families can put food on the table, and communities have greater access to the resources they need to thrive.

We are grateful for Langley’s commitment to creating stronger, healthier communities and are proud to continue this impactful partnership. Thank you for helping us nourish hope and change lives!

Summer should be about making memories—not worrying about where the next meal will come from.

When school meals pause, many children across the greater Virginia Peninsula lose a dependable source of nutrition. Virginia Peninsula Foodbank works alongside the Feeding America network and local partners to help ensure kids can access healthy meals throughout the summer months.

Every donation helps provide nourishing food that supports children's growth, learning, and potential. Join us in helping local kids and families thrive this summer.

If you'd like to make a difference, visit the link in our bio to make a donation and help provide healthy meals for children and families across our community.
