A pop-up food distribution is scheduled for this Sunday.

We’re hosting a pop-up event to support our neighbors impacted by the recent government shutdown.

📅 Sunday, November 9 | 1 PM – 4 PM
📍 Haymarket Regional Food Pantry

Federal employees can stop by, show a government work ID, and receive a free box of groceries – no registration required. You do not need to live in our service area.

Thanks to a generous donor and community organizations, we’re able to provide 300 boxes of food to help bridge the gap. Please share to help spread the word!
