Did you know: 1 in 8 Virginians live in food-insecure homes, and 1 in 5 children are food-insecure. The Foodbank supported more than 300,000 families in 2025.
Skyrocketing food prices have made it more challenging for families in our communities to access nutritious meals. Many are left to make difficult decisions between making rent payments and paying for groceries. As the school year ends, 1 in 5 children in the Hampton Roads face hunger. That is why this summer, TPMG is partnering with our local Foodbanks to help those who face hunger in our community. We are accepting canned and non-perishable items and monetary donations from June 1 – 15.
With your support, your donations of perishable and non-perishable items play a crucial role in assisting children, families, seniors, and veterans towards a more hopeful tomorrow. Your monetary contributions will help our food banks purchase fresh produce and other perishable items that cannot be donated.
Every $1 donated buys three balanced meals. No donation is too big or too small, but always appreciated! Thank you for your generosity this season!
