Clarksville, Virginia, Food Pantry
About Us
OUR MISSION
-
To solicit, store, and distribute supplemental food for adults, children, and especially seniors, who lack an adequate supply
-
To serve primarily residents in western Mecklenburg County, Virginia (Clarksville, Boydton, Skipwith, Buffalo Junction, and Nelson.)
WHO PROVIDES OUR FOOD?
Our​ inventory of healthy food is dependent on the generous contributions of caring individuals, families, businesses, churches, civic and other organizations, many of whom contribute food on a monthly basis. Seasonally, the Clarksville Community Garden provides weekly contributions of fresh vegetables -- tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and squash. Generous individuals regularly deliver eggs and produce boxes. Cash donations from many more individuals and organizations enable food purchases to supplement and balance the contributions. Contributions are tax-deductible.

OUR PARTNERS
Feed More’s programs are dedicated to providing healthy meals and hope for a better tomorrow to Central Virginians who face hunger. As a member of the Feeding America network of food banks, Feed More provides the Clarksville Food Pantry with food products at no cost or at a significantly discounted cost delivered to our door twice each month. Feed More has also recently donated a refrigerator and a freezer to the Pantry.
​
Our local Food Lion Store supports the Pantry with donations each week of deli products, pastries, and other items that are nearing their sell-by dates. A "Great Pantry Makeover" grant from Food Lion enabled remodeling and reorganization of the Pantry and donation of a glass front refrigerator. At Christmas, local Food Lion customers purchased over 600 "Food Lion Feeds" boxes to be distributed by the Clarksville Food Pantry.
​
A new partnership in 2021 with Dollar General now provides donations of various food products for distribution to Food Pantry clients twice each week.
