Happy 3rd Birthday to Us!

It doesn't seem possible...

But it's true, as far as the federal government is concerned. We were officially recognized as an independent, tax-exempt, non-profit organization by the IRS in May, 2017. It's also true that the Food for Families pantry has been in operation for over a dozen years and the Park View Cafe has been serving Wednesday night suppers for almost 25 years! Our guiding principle throughout the years: "Love your neighbors as yourself."

These are our values.

This is why we exist.

We just received some great presents:

The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank is not only our largest food supplier and sustaining partner, they recently gave us a $20,000 grant to add shelving at Food for Families and replace the well-used liftgate on our refrigerated truck.

We also want to thank the Andrew H. & Anne O. Easley Trust for a $13,800 grant to add shelving at Food for Thought and purchase a pallet stacker for safer, more efficient material handling.

And a big shout-out to Peakland Preschool, once again, for following up on their successful car wash with a "Drive-Thru Snack Drive." In just three hours on a recent Monday morning, they filled our van with over 500 pounds of snacks. We appreciate your passion for helping other kids!
