The Food Pantry
@ Three Chopt Presbyterian Church
Over 50,000 people were provided food by TCPC’s Food Pantry in 2025.
Right now in Central Virginia, 45% of households do not have enough food, and OVER HALF of families with children are food insecure.*
It takes ~50 volunteers each week helping in the operation of the Food Pantry, both during distribution and behind the scenes. The Food Pantry is blessed to have so many dedicated volunteers, both from TCPC and the community, and we are continually accepting more!
*According to a 2026 study. Read more at https://vafoodbanks.org/hunger-in-virginia/
