WHO IS HUNGRY?

WHO DO WE SERVE?
 
SINCE 1986, THE RIVER VALLEY REGIONAL FOOD BANK HAS RELIED ON FOLKS LIKE YOU TO HELP FEED THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE THE MEANS TO FEED THEMSELVES.  THE FOOD BANK SOLICITS, WAREHOUSES AND DISTRIBUTES OVER 4 MILLION POUNDS OF NUTRITIONAL FOOD TO MORE THAN 190 FOOD PANTRIES, SOUP KITCHENS AND OTHER FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IN OUR EIGHT COUNTY AREA. THIS INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING COUNTIES: CRAWFORD, FRANKLIN, JOHNSON, LOGAN, POLK, SCOTT, SEBASTIAN, AND YELL.
 
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
