Food For Neighbors is making headlines!
Check out our feature articles In The News.
There are now more than 900 kids receiving weekly food support
at 14 area middle and high schools!
Food For Neighbors is a non-profit organization helping to feed students who struggle
with hunger after school, on weekends, and during school holidays. We provide local middle and high schools with individual meals and snack items to distribute during these times when
students might otherwise go hungry. We connect with their social workers and help the schools set up a weekend snack program to distribute the food.
We rely on community support and in-kind donations from individuals, area businesses, local churches, and stores. We distribute Red Bags with a list of items
needed and then collect the bags bimonthly on a Saturday.
Our program began in Herndon where the local community quickly responded to the need for food at our middle and high schools. Now our students are benefitting weekly
from the consistent and reliable source of donated food. FFN has expanded into the Springfield area, neighboring schools in Loudoun County and most recently the Falls Church area. As more schools
hear about FFN, we are met with requests to bring the program to their school area.
We are excited to expand into other schools in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties! Our goal is to end hunger for middle and high school students who live with
food-insecurity.
We appreciate your continued support!
