Community Steps Up in Food Crisis

from Charlottesville News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

In a powerful display of community spirit, the “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive collected over 120,000 pounds of food and $6,000 in donations across 25 counties — the largest haul since pre-pandemic times. With food insecurity at an all-time high and prices soaring, this effort provided more than 119,000 meals. Stories like that of a postal worker who took time off to help — and has lived food insecurity herself — underscore the deep compassion driving this success. The food bank is now distributing to 400+ partners, serving 177,000 visits monthly. It’s a testament to how, even in tough times, people rise to meet each other’s needs.
