When schools close for the summer, many children in Richmond lose access to the meals they depend on.
At the Richmond Food Bank, we’re working to fill that gap by providing reliable, nutritious food for children and families, not just in the summer, but year-round. With your help, we can ensure no child in our community goes hungry.
Last summer, we provided 1,070 meal kits to local families through this campaign, ensuring children had healthy food when school programs paused. Each kit was filled with nutritious food, including pasta sauce, eggs, fresh vegetables, and more.
Because of generous support, we were also able to expand our support beyond the summer. We introduced snack packs during the 2025/2026 school year, helping fill the gap for children needing additional support outside of regular meal programs.
School-aged children make up 19% of those we serve, and while we reach all 51 schools in Richmond during the year, that support stops in the summer. This leaves many families without a reliable source of food when they need it most.
Just $20 can provide a week’s worth of food for a family of four. And right now, your impact will go twice as far. Montrose Properties will once again match all donations, up to $10,000, from now until the end of June. That means your contribution will have double the impact, helping us stretch your generosity even further!
Donate today and help ensure every child in Richmond has access to the food they need this summer and beyond. Every contribution helps us continue the fight against food insecurity.
Thank you for making this work possible.
