Everyone deserves access to nutritious food—not just today, but every day. 🍎🫛

At Facing Hunger Foodbank, we work alongside our agency partners, volunteers, and generous supporters to help ensure our neighbors across West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio have access to the food they need to thrive.

Food brings us together, strengthens our communities, and helps build a healthier future for everyone. Today, we celebrate the power of coming together to make a difference and recognize that access to nutritious food matters. 🍽️

Thank you to everyone who helps us fight hunger and nourish our communities! 💙

Farm Fact: 1 in 6 West Virginians (many of them children and seniors) are food insecure on this . That means having limited or uncertain access to enough safe, nutritious, and affordable food. WV farmers markets and food stands are helping bridge that gap by bringing fresh produce/meats/value-added products to previously underserved areas. The state's two food banks, Mountaineer and Facing Hunger, collect and supply food to tens of thousands each month.

Happy National School Lunch Week! From farms to school cafeterias, American agriculture is essential to feeding our Nation's children.
