Food For Neigbors

Food For Neighbors
Food For Neighbors provides local middle and high schools with individual meals and snacks for students who might otherwise go hungry. Food is distributed to the students through a weekend snack program or a food pantry students can access throughout the school day.
Food is collected through their Red Bag Program. Five times a year, Food for Neighbors supplies a Red Bag and a grocery list to those who want to participate. Drivers pick up the filled bags right from your front door and volunteers sort the food to distribute to local schools the same day.
Food For Neighbors primarily serves in Fairfax County but is expanding into Loudoun County. Crossroads is excited to assist in this effort by becoming a sorting site on the Saturdays that food is collected. We will also be storing the excess food items that will be distributed to schools between donation dates.
How you can get involved:
- Sign up for a Red Bag. The bag is delivered to your home with the shopping list and picked up on a predetermined date.
- Volunteer on food collection days. You can volunteer to sort or pick up Red Bags.
Our first collection and sorting date is Saturday, March 11th at 9am.
