The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is the leading hunger-relief organization in central and western Virginia, providing food assistance to an average of 178,700 individuals each month through a network of pantries, shelters, and nutrition programs. Support from partners like Albertsons helps fund initiatives such as School Break Boxes, ensuring children and families have access to nutritious food when school meals are unavailable.
Getting to know Blue Ridge Area Food Bank
To improve food security through equitable access to good nutrition and the resources that support health and well-being.
The goal of the School Break Boxes is to distribute food to children and their families before school breaks and longer holiday closures to fill the gap when students lose access to the free breakfast and lunch provided by their schools. This year we are serving 7,760 students and families across our 25-county service area.
