Who We Are
Feeding Southwest Virginia handles the distribution of donated food to member organizations, so the food can be delivered or picked up by those who are in need.
Food is donated by manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and others. A network of partner agencies such as churches, soup kitchens, shelters, children's centers, and others come to the Food Bank to select food and products they can use to help those in need.
Member agencies distribute the food free of charge directly to individuals and families. The threefold purpose of our mission is to reduce local hunger and malnutrition, eliminate food waste by salvaging and redirecting surplus food, and to be a resource to nonprofit organizations by providing them with good food to distribute via their pantries or kitchens.
For individuals in need of emergency food assistance, call the food bank in Salem at (540) 342-3011 for Salem, Roanoke, Alleghany Highlands, and the Southside counties or in Abingdon at (276) 628-9266 for Abingdon, Bristol, Wytheville, and the far Southwestern Virginia counties. A Food Pantry Locator is available on the website.
