Food bank uses grant to increase capacity

FREDERICKSBURG -- The Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank (FRFB) received a $10,000 grant from the Dominion Energy Charitable Foundation which went toward a new refrigerated truck.

The truck will deliver fresh produce to individuals and families in Fredericksburg, the community of Locust Grove and in Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties.

“We provide food to over 169 partner agencies, including 31 school pantries and 2,500 senior citizens or physically challenged recipients,” said Oya Oliver, president and CEO of FRFB. “This new truck will greatly increase our delivery capacity to combat hunger and food insecurity in our region. Our overall distribution will increase by 10 percent, so we can deliver another 38,700 pounds of fresh vegetables and produce to clients who don’t have easy access to nutritious food."
