Food For Neighbors celebrates receiving over 21,000 pounds of food from over 1,200 households during its April 24th Red Bag Program food collection. This is a record amount of food for the five-year-old nonprofit, and the accomplishment highlights the generosity of communities in supporting students who struggle with food security. Among these communities are the neighborhoods in and around Falls Church, which collected 5,877 pounds of food from 244 households. I m absolutely thrilled! Neighborhoods in Northern Virginia are enthusiastically providing a consistent and nutritious food source to hungry students, shared Karen Joseph, Cofounder of Food For Neighbors. This makes such a difference in their personal health and educational growth, and it lifts up the entire community.
