Summertime is a notoriously difficult time for food banks across the country, as well as for those in need of the assistance they provide. That’s why I’m proud to lead Keller Williams Elite Peninsula’s 3rd Annual Summer Food Drive.
Some Not-so-Fun Facts:
○ 1 in 7 Virginians struggles with hunger across the greater Peninsula
○ The Foodbank provided close to 9 million meals in FY 2022
○ 1 in every 3 served by the Foodbank is a child, and 1 in every 5 is a senior.
○ The Foodbank plays a major role in disaster relief
If it’s within your means, and in your heart, won’t you please consider making a donation?
