Richmond, you did it! 🍦🎉

10,000 scoops served. One unforgettable afternoon at Monroe Park. And a powerful show of community support.

A heartfelt thank you to Moose Tracks Ice Cream, Mayfield Dairy Farms, celebrity scoopers Melissa Chase, GeNienne Samuels and everyone who joined us for the Moose Tracks 10,000 Scoop Challenge, and helped us reach our goal!

Thanks to your support, we can provide 40,000 wholesome meals to children, families, seniors and individuals right here in Central Virginia.

We loved seeing so many members of our community come together for ice cream, fun and a great cause. Thank you for making it such a memorable day! 💚

What happens when an organization dedicated to helping others gets room to grow? The entire community benefits.💚

Congratulations to CRS - "Community Resource Services" on their new home in Lunenburg County, a milestone for an organization that has spent years serving neighbors with compassion and unwavering care!

In rural communities, trusted community hubs like CRS are lifelines, eliminating barriers to accessing needed support systems and a vital connection to resources that help neighbors thrive.

That's why CRS works across Lunenburg, Nottoway and surrounding counties, helping provide nutritious food and essential resources while treating every person with respect and kindness.

And this new space reflects the power of investing in community-driven solutions and those who make them possible.

So here's to new beginnings, expanded opportunities and continued work toward stronger, healthier communities for all!

Last week we were grateful to welcome a group of volunteers from Cristo Rey Richmond High School to Feed More!

The students spent their time helping to prepare diet-specific, medically tailored meals in our Bayard Community Kitchen, helping us provide the nourishment our region's seniors need to thrive.

Even more special: three of those students were returning volunteers, continuing to show up and give back to the community!

We’re always so inspired by young volunteers who bring positive energy, dedication and teamwork to our mission. Thank you, Cristo Rey, for spending time with us and making a meaningful impact for those we serve!

Debbie doesn’t think of herself as doing anything extraordinary. But she is.

“I usually cook their meals and deliver them. It’s easier than handing over ingredients.”

Debbie cares for elderly relatives in their 70s and 80s who can no longer drive, making sure they still get a warm meal, a check-in and someone who shows up.

“We try to grow our own food. Zucchini is coming in like crazy right now.”

Even with a garden and careful budgeting, rising food costs and a single income mean Debbie still leans on her local pantry to help make ends meet.

“I tell them, ‘Help is okay.’ But some are still too proud.”

What Debbie hopes for her community is simple: that more older adults feel safe asking for help, and that no one has to choose between pride and a meal.

Because this is what community really is: people showing up for one another, without hesitation, without judgment and without anyone being left behind. 💚
