Give Local Piedmont

Your Help is Needed

​

According to Feeding America, in Virginia, 658,470 people are facing hunger - and of them,182,170 are children facing hunger. Please join Minority & Veteran Farmers of the Piedmont during Northern Piedmont Community Foundation's Give Local Day on Tuesday, May 9, 2023. Our goal is to raise $7,000 to ensure our local community has access farm-fresh, nutritious foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, beef and pork.
