SUPPORT WHEN YOU
NEED IT MOST

Connecting Communities

Since 1988, we’ve helped people in Central Virginia navigate difficult circumstances through access to food, emergency utility assistance, and a network of community-based resources. We work in close partnership with churches, volunteers, and local organizations to offer support that’s practical, respectful, and rooted in real relationships.

 

Our work is focused on the region we know best: Chesterfield, Colonial Heights, Dinwiddie, Hopewell, Petersburg, and Prince George.

Our Mission

To provide individuals and families experiencing crisis with food, emergency support,
and a reliable pathway to community-based care.

Our Approach

We meet you where you are —without judgment—by partnering with local churches and
community organizations to provide clear, consistent access to support.

We prioritize dignity in every interaction and steward every donation with care and integrity.

Our Diversity Statement

We are committed to fostering a welcoming, inclusive environment. We value diversity
in all its forms and do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity,
sexual orientation, age, ability, or any other protected status.
