Over the summer, The Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore participates in the Summer Food Service Program. This program is being extended so that the Foodbank can continue to provide free, healthy, nutritious meals to children ages 5–18 on a first come, first serve basis.
While escalating inflation continues to impact food and gas prices, more families are being pushed into the realm of food insecurity. The need for these meals will only increase as families continue to feel the impacts of this and supply chain issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic in their households. Summer meal sites are conveniently located in low-income neighborhoods so that participating children can walk or bike to receive meals in a safe, supportive environment. Summer feeding sites are scheduled for the locations below.

About the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore
For 40 years, the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore has provided over 350 million meals to those in our community who face hunger. Through our programs, facilities, and large network of community partners, we “eliminate hunger” on a daily basis for many. However, we understand that our current work addresses hunger for individuals in the short term. It does not address the root causes which force individuals to return to a food pantry again and again. This understanding has led to the creation of a 3-year strategic plan aimed to move Hampton Roads closer to achieving the mission of eliminating hunger for those we serve—not only for the day, or for the week, but for a lifetime.
