We wrapped up our July food distributions last week, and we want to see you next month! We have three food distributions throughout August near the Patrick Henry, Manchester, and Chester YMCA locations. Through strong partnerships and community relationships, we’re able to help local families fill their pantries in the Greater Richmond area each month. 🍞💜

We couldn’t do this without the generosity of our neighbors and friends who volunteer their time to make these events possible. For more information about how you can get involved, visit: https://bit.ly/4yGkAKw 👋🚙💙
