Feed More to Hold Pop-Up Food Distribution for Neighbors Impacted by the Partial Government Shutdown

01/17/2019

Feed More will hold a special food distribution from 2 – 4 p.m. on Friday, January 18 for those impacted by the partial government shutdown. The Pop-Up Distribution will take place on Feed More’s campus, in the parking lot of Building II at 1601 Rhoadmiller Street.

“Feed More remains committed to collecting, preparing and distributing food to our Central Virginia neighbors in need, no matter how that need may originate – whether due to a government shutdown, natural disaster or during times of uncertainty,” said Doug Pick, Chief Executive Officer at Feed More.

The food distribution will provide each household with a variety of fresh produce, nonperishable food items and a lean protein. Feed More will also have information available to help connect neighbors with additional resources in our community. Additionally, Feed More is working with the members of its Agency Network to determine their capacity for distributing more food during the partial government shutdown and may schedule additional Pop-Up Distributions in the coming weeks.

“It is our job to take care of our community and we are here to provide our neighbors impacted by the government shut down with a hand up in their times of need,” Pick said.

Feed More can help connect you with a local food source and resources you need across their 34-county and -city service area.
