ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Giant Food presented a $60,000 check Thursday, February 4, to the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (BRAFB).
The money will provide around 110,000 pounds of family-friendly food for partner pantries operating near Giant grocery stores in BRAFB’s service area.
The food bank has had to purchase more items than usual to meet the growing needs for help.
BRAFB CEO Michael McKee says donations like this are paramount in helping respond to the lingering coronavirus pandemic.
