Description:
The Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry presents Just One Can 30,000 Goal Food Drive starting on Sunday, March 16, 2025 and continuing through Sunday, March 30, 3025.

To fill our shelves, the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry is holding a canned food drive. We are asking the public to drop off cans of food at collections points throughout the town of Blacksburg or in the bins at the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry. Our goal is 30,000 cans. One cane from each town resident and student will help us serve 400 families for three months. With your help, we can reach our goal!

The Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry is currently seeing an unprecedented number of customers. The average number of families visiting the Food Pantry has increased 98% since 2022. We serve approximately 375 families a month representing over 1100 individuals.

The Pantry needs standard size cans:
• Vegetables: carrots, potatoes, diced tomatoes, peas, corn, and green beans
• Beans: pork and beans, chili beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and red beans
• Fruit: applesauce, pears, peaches, fruit cocktail, and mandarin oranges
• Meat: tuna and chicken
• Soup: any variety

Serving residents of the greater Blacksburg area and McCoy, the Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry is a joint ministry of over twenty-five faith-based communities. We are also supported by individuals, organizations, and clubs in the surrounding community. The Pantry is an all-volunteer organization and depends solely on contributions from the community to serve our customers.

Blacksburg Interfaith Food Pantry is located at 706 Harding Avenue in Blacksburg, VA.
