A group of students from Mountain View High School came out to the food bank and volunteered to pack bags for the Food-4-Kidz Weekend Feeding Program. The pack went wonderfully and we'd be more than glad to have these kids come out and volunteer again. Thank you Mountain View High students.

Earlier this week the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank received a check from Giant Food in the amount of $5,262.00. This amount represents the proceeds Giant collected for the FAFB from their 2011 Good Neighbor Campaign. To the food bank this check represents food to be provided to the hungry and to our community it means over 4,000 people who would have gone without a meal today, will have one more meal tonight. We thank you Giant Foods for being such a good neighbor and helping us create a hunger-free community.

The Fredericksburg Kiwanis work diligently to support and encourage youth programs throughout our community and recently they sent us a check in the amount of $3,250 to help provide meals for the hungry. Kiwanis provide annual scholarships to high school and college students, they fundraise and donate to other non-profits and through their generosity and donation to the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank they even help provide the food to fuel the dreams of our littlest neighbors. Way to go Fredericksburg Kiwanis…we thank you!

Thank you Wegmans and to all who supported the Check Out Hunger Campaign for being a great neighbor and partner in helping us create a hunger free community.
