Frequently Asked Questions
The easiest way to donate to a food bank is through our secure online donation page, where you can give a one-time or recurring gift in just minutes. Because we purchase food in bulk at deeply discounted rates, just $1 from your foodbank donation provides up to 2 meals for families in need. This means the vast majority of every gift goes directly toward feeding hungry neighbors across southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore.
Setting up a regular monthly foodbank donation is simple through our secure online portal. Select “monthly” during checkout to create a recurring gift that consistently funds programs like the BackPack Program, which fights child hunger by providing weekend meals. Even small monthly food bank donation amounts add up significantly, providing reliable nourishment for hungry children throughout southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore.
The most impactful way to make a foodbank donation online is through monthly recurring gifts on our secure website. Recurring donations let us plan reliably and respond quickly to community needs. You can also donate one-time gifts, contribute through workplace giving, or make a food drive donation to virtual drives. Every option directly supports hunger relief.
To organize a food drive donation at your workplace, visit our “Host a Food Drive” page and submit the registration form. You’ll receive a toolkit with collection bin guidelines, shopping lists, and promotional templates. Combine a physical food drive donation with a virtual fundraiser to maximize impact. Our team supports you throughout, ensuring your workplace foodbank donation effort succeeds.
