PARTNER WITH US

Your business has the power to make a lasting impact in our community. By partnering with us, you help ensure that local students facing food insecurity have access to the nourishment they need to thrive—both in and out of school.

Together, we can fight student hunger and build a stronger community.

Community partners come together for a sorting event in Herndon, Food For Neighbors.

Why Partner with Us?

Hunger is a daily reality for many students in our community. In Northern Virginia, over 25% of students rely on free or reduced-price school meals—but what happens when school is out? Weekends, holidays, and breaks can mean empty plates for children who depend on school for their only reliable meals.

At Food For Neighbors, we provide supplemental food to middle and high school students throughout Northern Virginia. But the demand for assistance is growing, and our resources are stretched thin.

This is where you come in. When your business partners with us, you’re not just giving—you’re transforming lives. Your support helps ensure that no child in our community goes hungry, while also demonstrating your company’s commitment to making a meaningful local impact.

Together, we can bridge the gap and fight student hunger. Will you join us?
