If you live in Charlottesville or Albemarle County, you can call us once a month to order a three-day supply of food for your family.
Call (434) 979-9180 between 9am and noon on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning.
Come to our distribution site at 900 Harris St. between 1:30 and 3:30 that same day to pick up your food.
Each order contains:
milk
bread
eggs
cheese
margarine
fresh produce
Additionally, you will get canned tuna and chicken, canned fruits and vegetables, cereal, rice, canned beans, soup, peanut butter, and macaroni and cheese mix. Please let us know if you are vegetarian or diabetic and we will adjust your order accordingly.
Baby food and formula, as well as certain special foods needed for medical reasons, are provided on request as supplies allow.
People with no kitchen may request special orders containing ready-to-eat foods and eating utensils.
The United Way of Greater Charlottesville has compiled a list of additional resources that might also be helpful to you.
