With constrained space in our existing warehouse facilities, the foodbank has
reached its limits in terms of food it can accept and, in turn, distribute. In fact, last year, the food bank had to turn away 2.2 million pounds of food for lack of space.
To ensure that no one is hungry on the Peninsula, the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula must expand its capacity. We are raising funds to complete a new warehouse that will enable the foodbank to double, and eventually triple, the amount of food it distributes to the thousands of people suffering hunger in our region.
The increased warehouse space will allow the foodbank to be more efficient and provide repackaging services for bulk items to benefit our customers, as well as expand educational programs designed to teach people how to maximize their food resources.
With your support, the Foodbank can seize this opportunity to grow and serve.
