Description: The Roanoke Valley Branch covers the counties of: Bedford, Botetourt, Carroll, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Henry, Montgomery, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Pulaski, Roanoke and Wythe. Cities: Bedford, Danville, Martinsville, Radford, Roanoke, and Salem.

Since 1981, the Southwestern Virginia Second Harvest Food Bank has provided millions of pounds of food and related product to approximately 350 partner agencies that directly serve the families and individuals in need of emergency food assistance. Without the Food Bank’s distribution program there would be severe and detrimental effects on the types and qualities of services that our partner agencies provide the thousands of disadvantaged families and individuals living in our communities.

The Food Bank does not directly distribute food to those families and individuals in need of food assistance but, instead, acts as a distribution center to locate, transport, store and distribute the food to our partner agencies that do.

Our partner agencies include non-profit food pantries, children's feeding programs, shelters, soup kitchens, and elderly care facilities. These partner agencies rely on the Food Bank to provide them with the large quantities of food to which they may not otherwise have access.
