Blue Ridge Area Food Bank Feeding America

A huge thank you to Coach Napier and JMU Football for spending a Saturday afternoon with us and for the preparation that will enable us to serve our community in person and through our delivery program!

On Saturdays, they are typically running up the scoreboard at Bridgeforth or throughout the Sun Belt Conference, but on this day, they were tackling hunger in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County!

Hope Distributed is proud to be a part of the 2026 on Wednesday, April 22. This one-day event is pivotal in ensuring that we can continue serving those in financial need in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County.
From in-person food pantries to home deliveries, from providing clothing to baby care supplies, and from serving local school children, the elderly, the handicapped, the United States veterans, to anyone in need of a "hand up," we thank you for your support, partnership, and love.

Question of the week.

As a child, what was your favorite Christmas gift?

When I was 4 years old, Santa brought me a "Shirt Tales" drum set! I discovered this awesome gift at 3:30 am and began to play it - or what I considered playing it. I am sure it sounded more like Animal from the Muppets. I may have awakened the entire neighborhood.

What was yours?
