A little about us...

Who We Are

For over 25 years Feeding Greene has been providing supplemental food assistance to area families in need. Currently we are serving over 800 families who receive over 63,000 pounds of food each month. Feeding Greene is a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer driven organization.  

We are open to families every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9:00am - 12:00pm, the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 4:00pm - 6:00pm.

​Home food deliveries are made every Tuesday and Thursday to those with no transportation or physical needs. Individuals  in need of emergency food assistance may apply at Feeding Greene, Inc. and are supplied once a month with groceries.

We are thankful to be part of Feeding America's network of food banks and a member of Blue Ridge Area Food Bank in Charlottesville, VA. We serve families through multiple programs including: 

• Client Choice Program: On Oct 19, 2021 we opened our doors for families to shop for their own food much like in a normal grocery store. We will be implementing a stop light system, identifying food as either green, yellow, or red to reflect the nutritional value of food as families make informed choices. This model is designed to educate and encourage healthy eating habits. We are providing food sampling of healthy pantry food each week to families. The Extension Office will be providing recipes and classes aimed at healthy eating habits. The Free Clinic has been asked to offer health screenings and diabetes education to families as they visit.Home Delivery Program

• Backpack Program: For children at our public schools and Head Start: On September 10, 2021 Feeding Greene began delivering food to children at our local schools through our new Backpack Program. We are currently delivering 100 bags of easy to prepare food to our schools to ensure that our children’s nutritional needs are provided for over the weekend. All food for this program must be purchased. Monetary donations are encouraged to best support this program. 

​

• Home Delivery Program: For the elderly, disabled, and those without transportation: This program has been a vital part of our
  pantry for its entire 27 years now and COVID took it to a whole new level and gave it new purpose. This program went from being offered once a month to twice a week during most of the pandemic. We have recently moved it to twice a month for those needing help on a monthly basis. We continue to offer emergency deliveries on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have partnered with Blue Ridge Health District to see that families in Greene with COVID receive food and cleaning supplies during their time of illness and quarantine.

​

To date we have an average of 80 volunteers who donate their time collecting, sorting, and delivering food each month as well other areas of day to day operations. The food we provide is donated by individuals, churches, and several community partner businesses. Our Community Partners provide us with perishables and bread & bakery items each week. In addition, we are able to purchase food from the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank at greatly reduced prices.  See a list of our Partners here on our Community Partners.
