Today, I had the opportunity to attend Feeding Southwest Virginia/Feeding Southwest Virginia’s Elected Official Day to volunteer and spend time learning more about the incredible work being done every day to fight hunger across Southwest Virginia.
It was great to join elected officials from across our region, including Congressman Morgan Griffith, State Senators Todd Pillion and Travis Hackworth, Mayor Jake Holmes, Washington County Commissioner of the Revenue April Hamby Crabtree, Scott County Treasurer Kevin Helms, the legendary Bristol Sheriff Tyrone Foster and many others who came together in support of this important mission.
For me, this one hits especially close to home. Through our annual Commissioners & Cans campaign and this year’s Feeding the Fight effort, I’ve seen firsthand just how generous our community can be when we rally around our neighbors.
Hunger doesn’t stop at a town, county, or district line, and neither should our willingness to help.
I’m proud that our office and our community continue to support Feeding Southwest Virginia and our local food banks, and I’m grateful for everyone across the region who is willing to work together to make a difference.
As we’ve said throughout Feeding the Fight: No One Fights Hunger Alone.
