Local Food Drives: Where to Donate in Richmond
The Richmond community is coming together in a spirit of solidarity. It's never been more important for everyone to work together: Locals, nonprofits, and our real estate agents are heeding the call. Plenty of charities and nonprofits are staying active around Richmond in this testing time.
Social distancing makes everything a little more complicated, but brave volunteer workers throughout the Richmond area are still finding ways to help out their community. One big way to do your part is to participate in one of the many Richmond food drives.
Even if you don't have the time to volunteer, it only takes a few minutes to drop off a donation – and it can help, especially for families with young kids!
Looking for a chance to make a difference? You're in luck. There's another Richmond food drive coming up on May 1 that will offer you the perfect opportunity!
Richmond Food Drives Are Crucial to Meeting the Needs of Local Families
During the food drive on April 1, people from all walks of life came together to donate a combined total of more than 5,000 pounds of canned food – that's over two tons! The impressive haul made it one of the most successful charity events in the Richmond area for 2020.
More than 30 volunteers were involved in the drive-through process, which maintained safe social distancing while serving hundreds of donors.
Three organizations received the donations for distribution to those in need.
The sponsors include medical care charity GoochlandCares, UP RVA, which focuses on the needs of local students, and Henrico County Family and Community Engagement. All of them are well known and have a proven history of working for the betterment of Richmond.
Terrific turnout for the previous food drive has led to plenty of enthusiasm for the repeat performance that will be held soon!
Visit Tuckahoe Village Shopping Center on May 1 to Give Your Donation
To keep the momentum going, there will be a second drive for canned food and other necessities held on Friday, May 1. Donations will be accepted from 10 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon in the same location: The Tuckahoe Village Shopping Center in front of Holland Family Chiropractic in Richmond.
Canned and unopened jars of food will be accepted.
In particular, organizations hope that donors will bring plenty of canned meats such as chicken, tuna, beef, and pork, canned stews and soups, and canned fruits or vegetables.
Jars of peanut butter and jelly will also be happily accepted. These are great because they can safely last for months on the shelf and do not need any complex preparation.
The volunteers will make sure they get where they are most needed!
