The Fredericksburg Area Food Bank'S Mission Is To Reduce Hunger In Fredericksburg And The Surrounding Counties By Collecting And Distributing Donated Food Products To Needy Individuals And Families Through A Network Of Charitable Organizations And Churches.

The Food Bank's Partner Agencies help families such as those that fall into these income categories. They also assist the elderly or disabled living on fixed incomes. Many have incomes of less than $800 per month. Partner Agencies also assist with food during emergencies such as fires, health emergencies, and job loss.
