Rockbridge Feeds launches website to help combat food insecurity within local community

The group hopes to make it easier to access food

ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, Va. – A new coalition is teaming up with local non-profits to fight food insecurity in Rockbridge County.

The Rockbridge Feeds Coalition is a partnership with various local agencies all aiming to provide fresh food to those in need across the county.

Those needing access to food can now access information on resources in the community in one place.

“A lot of people think, you know, I’m just skipping a meal or so I’m not hungry enough we want to say there’s enough food for everyone and it’s not just enough calories like enough nutrition,” Administrative Lead Jen Handy said.

Current Rockbridge Feeds member agencies are:

  • Blue Ridge Area Food Bank
  • Bridge to Hope Food Pantry
  • Campus Kitchen at W&L
  • Gospel Way Food Pantry, Kingsway Help Center
  • Meals for Shut-Ins
