Happy Birthday to Us!

25 years of providing healthy food for our hungry neighbors

This year marks RVFB’s 25th birthday, on May 1, to be exact. For a quarter century, we have seen unbelievable growth in demand. As much as I would like to say that our service levels are decreasing, we continue to set new records in the number of people we feed. March once again blew through our previous record, with over 23,782 people fed, including repeat visitors.

Like people, organizations can’t grow, mature, and thrive alone. Without a network of support from family and friends, we wither and atrophy. Just in the last seven years, we’ve increased our own network from just over 200 donors and volunteers to nearly 5,000. If you’re reading this, you are one of those people—an integral part of our own network of support. Together, we’ve fed a LOT of hungry people. Together, we will keep the food flowing until hunger is a thing of the past. Thank you for your ongoing support, your caring, your time, your compassion, and your solidarity in co-creating a healthy, happy, well-fed community
