Feed More collects, prepares and distributes food to neighbors in need across 29 counties and five cities in Central Virginia and has been a part of the Central Virginia community for more than five decades. Meals on Wheels was established in 1967, where it served just eight clients. The Central Virginia Food Bank has been in operation since 1980 and was created by 60 local churches and charities that were concerned about growing hunger and poverty in our region. In 2005, the Central Virginia Food Bank and Meals on Wheels came together to build a joint kitchen to cost effectively create cooked-from-scratch meals for clients. Now known as the Community Kitchen, this led to the formal merger of the Central Virginia Food Bank and Meals on Wheels and on July 1, 2008 Feed More was born.
