Brighter Days, Fuller Plates Summer Campaign

This summer, hundreds of children in Richmond will face the long break without the school meals they depend on. At the Richmond Food Bank, we’re working hard to ensure no child goes hungry and that school-aged kids and their families have reliable access to nutritious food throughout the summer and beyond. We’re counting on your support to make it happen, and we hope you’ll join us once again to bring brighter days and fuller plates to our community. 

Thanks to your incredible generosity last summer, we distributed 612 meal kits to local families. Each kit was filled with healthy, nourishing food – support that helped children thrive during the summer months when school meal programs were unavailable. Your contributions made a real difference. This year, with your help, we hope to support even more families in need.

We’re also excited to share that Montrose Properties will match all donations, up to $10,000, through to the end of June. That means every dollar you give will go twice as far, helping us stretch your generosity even further!

Why Your Support Matters

School-aged children make up 18% of the clients we serve. During the school year, we provide meals and snacks to all 51 schools in Richmond. However, when schools close for summer, these essential programs are put on hold, leaving many families without reliable access to food.

At the Richmond Food Bank, we are committed to making sure every child has access to nutritious meals during the summer break. A donation of just $20 can provide a week’s worth of food for a family of four. Here are ways you can help:

• Donate Now: Visit our donation page or click the button below to make a secure online contribution.
• Spread the Word: Share our campaign with your friends, family, and colleagues who may also want to make a difference.
• Create a Fundraiser: Whether it’s a bake sale, a virtual food drive, or a birthday fundraiser, your initiative can make a big impact.

Every gift, big or small, helps us continue our mission to fight food insecurity and support families in Richmond. Whether it’s a one-time donation or an ongoing monthly contribution, your help matters.

Thank you for your continued support. Together, we will ensure that no child goes hungry this summer and beyond.
