At Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, there are several locations where you can volunteer. Just knowing that these families are being helped is a reward with in itself, and I appreciate organizations like this one. I'm going to make a commitment to volunteer more often like I used to in the past. It's been about a few days of volunteering, and I personally love the Young Terrace location. There's enough space to move around, and the guests (community) are grateful and very respectful. I've assisted with stocking and food distribution, but would love to see what's behind the scenes. Overall, if you want to give back to the community and feel amazing, check out a few locations, one may be real close to you. Sidenote: For those picking up food, there is a limit for each food category (canned goods, chicken, eggs, etc). You can have a bag full of produce. Quality is in good condition and some almost going bad, but you choose at your own discretion.

Highly recommend volunteering at the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia. It's fun, safe, and helps those less fortunate. Win win!

That was such a blessing to see so many meals that will help families in their time of need. We even had fun being in the warehouse, making up songs and figuring out how to ration this food if the walking dead decides to happen lol. Being able to give back without hearing others complain is so rewarding. You end up seeing how big your coworkers hearts are when sweating is not a thing to them because making these food bags is more important. We love the Virginia Foodbank employees and I want to personally thank Tracy for guiding us through our volunteer days!

I filled out a visitor's card and a member of the church called me to thank me for coming. I think the Church has been a welcoming place for Burmese Refugees, who seem to be incorporated into the life of the church. Not quite sure what sort of Baptist Church it is. They also have Godly play for preschool age kids on Wednesday evening after their Wednesday dinners. The Church is not liturgical like Methodist, Catholic, or Episcopal churches.

They are in the business of helping others in need instead of helping themselves to donations. They have a thrift store, they have a weekly food bank and on top of that they serve three meals daily to those that need it.

I'm sorry that they didn't have your favorite brand of Gucci purse in their shop but just realize that your money spent here is truly going to help people have a meal and feel just a little peace of mind by having some of life's simple necessities.
