On October 23, 2020 at from 1-3pm, Feeding Southwest Virginia will hold our 18th pop up distribution in the parking lot of the YMCA in Covington.
No pre-registration is required for participants.
The pop up distributions were instituted by Feeding Southwest Virginia in March as a COVID-19 response.
It allows the organization to feed families with food boxes that can provide a family of 4 for 3 days plus fresh produce.
“We found a great way to reach large groups of food insecure individuals and families while creating a no contact system to keep staff, volunteers and clients safe in this uncertain time,” said. Pamela Irvine, president and CEO of Feeding Southwest Virginia. “The Alleghany Highlands is one of the top 4 areas in our service region with the most need based on unemployment and food insecurity statistics. We are proud to serve our communities in Southwest Virginia.”
