Feed the City November 17: Donate Now

The 4th Annual RVA Feed the City  is being held the week of Thanksgiving – Sunday November 18, 2012. It’s at Monroe Park from 2-5pm in Richmond. It’s the perfect time to help feed those who don’t have as much as many others.

Purpose of the Event

The purpose of this event is to provide full Thanksgiving courses, non-perishable to-go boxes, winter clothing, haircuts, health screenings, employment opportunities, and other free services to the Monroe Park community. Last year they fed over 400 men, women, and children.
This year they are preparing for a lot more since they are opening up to a few new organizations including:
  • the Boys and Girls Club
  • Community in Schools of Richmond
  • and a few others to extend our services to the community

The same businesses, organizations, and non-profit groups from the last four years are also participating again this year, including;

  • T. Francis Collection
  • Sam’s Club, Walmart
  • WTVR CBS 6
  • Hot 100.9 & 103.7 The River
  • The Main Studio
  • BMC
  • McDonalds
  • Chick-fil-A
  • Old Navy
  • Macys
  • and more

The official drop-off location for winter clothing and canned goods is Gold’s Gym. They will have large ‘RVA Feed the City’ bins in all Richmond locations and will accept donations four weeks in advance. Any clean, gently used clothing (men, women, and children) will be accepted including heavy jackets, scarves, hats, gloves, boots, shirts, jeans, thermals, and similar items.

Help feed the city and warm up people who are cold this winter – donate your food, clothing, and/or time to help.
