Dec14 Drive Thru Food Pantry

Drive-Thru Food Pantry on March 29 for Virginia Beach Residents

The Virginia Beach Department of Human Services (DHS), in partnership with the Foodbank of Southeastern Virginia and the Eastern Shore, will host another drive-thru food pantry for Virginia Beach residents. The food pantry will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29, in the parking lot of the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater, 3550 Cellar Door Way. About 60 pounds of food per household will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis until 1 p.m. or supplies run out, whichever occurs first.

Pantry attendees should enter the line through Dam Neck Road where signs and volunteers will direct traffic to the loading stations. Participants are asked to remain in their vehicles at all times. In order to load groceries and move vehicles through the lines as quickly as possible, we kindly ask that the trunk or storage area of vehicles be free of clutter.

All groceries will be prepacked into bags and/or boxes containing a mix of fresh and shelf-stable foods such as fruit and vegetables, bread, dairy products, frozen meats, canned goods, and some staple items such as pasta, sugar and flour. Staff and volunteers will load the groceries into the trunks or rear storage areas of participating vehicles.
