Over the past year, the We Feed program has brought in 45,817 pounds of food, or 38,180 meals, for the Foodbank and affiliated organizations. This food has helped the less fortunate in our community get through another day and go to sleep with a full stomach. It is the effort of our partners like Church of the Good Shepherd and Gethsemane Community Fellowship Baptist Church, and many others that have made this possible. If you too believe that no one should go to bed hungry, then contact us. Together, we can make a difference!!

The Healthcare Collaborative food drive was a friendly competition between members of the Norfolk Healthcare Collaborative to see who could raise the most food during a critical period of time — the summer months. Employees, visitors and friends of each team brought in food donations. At the end of each team’s food drive, the Foodbank of SEVA sent a truck to collect the donations and weigh the total food collected. The goal was to raise awareness about food insecurity and help those in need!
7,990 lbs. of food = 6,659 meals for the hungry
Food Drive Results:
1st) Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital
3,143 lbs. = 2,619 meals
2nd) NDPH/EVMS/City of Norfolk
2,576 lbs. = 2,147 meals
3rd) Sentara Leigh & Sentara Norfolk General
1,968 lbs. = 1,640 meals
4th) DePaul Medical Center

Yesterday, there was a meeting to discuss how the Virginia Beach Public Schools could help combat food insecurity in our community. Shannon Kane from VB gov, David Richards of We Feed, and administrators from the school system came together to discuss how to take action. Preliminary steps were made in formulating a coherent plan for the year. As it stands, the elementary school kids will spend a few months recording food waste in the school. These data points will then be handed to the high schoolers in their government class to discuss and formulate an action plan for how to change congress' stance on disposing prepared food. The best of these plans will be submitted to a panel of judges to determine who wins a prize!
