Virginia Peninsula Foodbank

Our vision is to inspire hope by leading the effort for a hunger free & properly nourished community.

Virginia Peninsula Foodbank is a charitable organization that receives, inventories, and distributes food and grocery products to charitable agencies that directly help those at risk of hunger.

Today is International Day of Charity, a day to recognize the power of generosity and the difference we can make when we come together to support our neighbors.

This Hunger Action Month, we’ve set an ambitious goal: raising $50,000 to provide immediate hunger relief across the Peninsula.

With the cost of everyday essentials continuing to rise, more of our neighbors are turning to the Foodbank and our partner agencies for support. Your generosity can help ensure nutritious food is available to those who need it most.

It's National Food Bank Day, and we’re celebrating the power of working together.

Across Virginia, seven regional food banks come together through the Federation of Virginia Food Banks to strengthen hunger relief across the Commonwealth. Together, we distribute nutritious food, support local communities, advocate for policies that improve food access, and work to build a stronger, healthier Virginia.

Collectively, Virginia’s food banks distribute more than 10 million pounds of food each month to communities across the Commonwealth. That impact is only possible because of the strength of our statewide network and the many people who come together to support our neighbors.

Today, we’re proud to stand alongside our fellow food banks across Virginia and celebrate what we can accomplish when we work together.

Meet our new Board of Directors Chairwoman, Tiffany Boyle!

Tiffany brings a long history of public service and a deep commitment to our community to her new role as Chairwoman of the Virginia Peninsula Foodbank’s Board of Directors. She has served on the Foodbank’s board since 2019, and her connection to our mission began in a very personal way.

Tiffany first learned more about food insecurity in our community through the Food for Kids BackPack Program at her daughter’s school. Seeing firsthand how programs like this support local children opened her eyes to the need right here in our community.

When Tiffany became Newport News Commissioner of the Revenue, she took that passion for service a step further by launching Commissioner in Cans, a food drive initiative that quickly grew beyond our community and spread across Virginia, bringing people together to help fight hunger.

Tiffany knows that creating a stronger community takes all of us. She understands the importance of ensuring everyone has access to the food they need and that everyone deserves a seat at the table.

As a dedicated advocate for our neighbors experiencing food insecurity, we’re excited to have Tiffany’s leadership as Virginia Peninsula Foodbank enters its next chapter. We’re grateful for her continued service and look forward to all we’ll accomplish together.

This Hunger Action Month, everyone plays a part.

Great things are not built alone. They happen when the right pieces come together with purpose.

Ending hunger works the same way. Every volunteer, food drive, donation, advocate, partner, and community member is a piece of something bigger. When we connect our actions, we become more than separate parts. We become a movement working together to build a stronger community where everyone has access to the food they need.

Your part matters.

This Hunger Action Month, find your way to take action. Volunteer, donate, start a food drive, or learn more about how you can get involved.

Together, we can make a difference.

You’re never too young to make a difference!

Two third-grade students, Nora and Marley, recently took proceeds from their summer lemonade stand to make a $100 donation to the Foodbank. The friends from Richneck Elementary School spent a summer afternoon selling cups of lemonade and cookies for $1.00. After a successful first day, they knew they wanted to donate their earnings to help others.

When Nora’s family visited the Foodbank, she was able to see the impact donations like hers and Marley’s have in real time. Volunteers were bagging produce and packing food boxes to go out to our community. Contributions of all sizes help make those distributions possible. The girls’ donation was enough to provide 300 meals, making a real difference for families experiencing food insecurity.

Thank you Nora and Marley for your creativity, generosity, and community spirit!
