Summer Hunger in Southwest Virginia
from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Summer hunger hits hard—especially in rural America, where up to half of kids face food insecurity. Sinclair joins forces with Feeding America, donating $25,000 to launch a campaign, while Feeding Southwest Virginia serves 2,500 children across 80 locations with nearly 300,000 meals. Volunteers like Taylor McMillion say it’s deeply rewarding to give kids a safe, nourishing place to be. David Dantzler invites everyone to help—packing boxes, staffing events, or donating. The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank also steps up, serving 25 counties and highlighting that one in three people they help are children. Hunger doesn’t pause in summer—and neither should our response. Every dollar donated provides at least ten meals. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
