Child Hunger. It’s Closer Than You Think.
Today, more than 18,500 children living in our area don’t have enough food to lead healthy lives. Thankfully, most of them qualify for school meal programs. But for some, this may be the only food they eat.
The BackPack Program
Ensures that at-risk children discreetly receive the nutritious and easy-to-prepare foods they need to get through the weekend. Each week, participating Title 1 Elementary schools send backpacks full of food home with children in need.
Child Hunger in America
More than 15 million children face hunger in the U.S. today. To learn more about what the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank is doing to help, please click here.
