Your donation today can help give local students a greater chance for success.

Did you know that 1 in 4 children in Fairfax and Loudoun counties, two of the wealthiest counties in the nation, struggles with food insecurity? And did you know that many of the families facing food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs, or visit food banks or other local programs for extra support?

With your generous support, we can expand our program to reach more schools and provide more students with a reliable source of supplemental weekend food. We are committed to ending hunger in all of Northern Virginia to help give ALL students a chance to succeed. Your generosity will make a difference for local teens throughout Northern Virginia.
