Partner Pick-up Program
Retail Store Donation Program
It is estimated that more than 800 million pounds of wholesome food are discarded from retail grocery stores in the United States. Feeding Southwest Virginia partners with over 300 grocery stores and other retailers to keep that food out of the trash. Our Food Resourcing Team works closely with store managers and employees to save food that is no longer shelf-worthy but is still usable. The food is picked by either Feeding SWVA or by one of our agency partners.

Poverty has increased among older adults over age 65. We fear too many older adults are struggling to make ends meet with limited resources, often resulting in poor diets.

Client Choice Healthy Pantry
One of the most cost-effective ways to reduce food waste is through Client Choice. Converting your pantry to Client Choice is not difficult and offers more respect and self- determination to the neighbors being served. A Client Choice Pantry is set up similar to a grocery store so that hungry neighbors can browse the shelves and choose items they need and want.
