Lynchburg, Virginia – The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank requires your assistance in order to fulfill their goal of providing 400,000 meals to low-income families.
In honor of the food bank’s 40th anniversary, it will hold its first-ever regional campaign, “Unity in Community Food and Fund Drive.”
In the Blue Ridge region, one out of every 12 adults and children is food insecure.
You can make an online gift here between August 7 and 14, and your donation will be matched.
To put things in perspective, $1 could feed eight people.
