“The Hunger Resource Center has really been a lifeline for my family,” shared one client. “With grocery prices going up, it’s been tough to keep enough food in the house—especially with kids who are always hungry and growing fast. Knowing there is help when we need it is a huge weight off.” Stories like this reflect why Nourishing Neighbors invests in partners like NVFS, who meet families at moments of need with compassion and care.

Through our support, the Hunger Resource Center serves as both a critical food access point and a gateway to long‑term stability for families across Northern Virginia. Each year, the center distributes more than 642,000 pounds of healthy, culturally responsive food while connecting families to housing support, workforce development, and public benefits like SNAP and WIC. As demand continues to rise, our investment helps ensure families can access nourishment with dignity—while receiving the wraparound support they need to build resilience and move toward lasting independence.
