Introduction
Introduction
We want to ensure that no child in the Southwest Virginia region goes to bed hungry or must worry about when their next meal will be. Our team aims to be committed at providing the best service to satisfy our target market while delivering long term value.
Our Mission
Our Mission
Our goal with our project is to give back to the Hokie community, which represents Ut Prosim, this may I serve.
We are all passionate about making sure as many people have access to meals. Food is a necessity for all and unfortunately, not everyone has access to those resources. With this project, it will make us more mindful of hardships that others must face daily and learn to be more appreciative of what we have.

Thank you to our local community for your support!
FASWVA relies on over 2,500 volunteers each year! We are extremely happy that we had many opportunities to make an impact and give back to our community! $1 provides 10 meals, which makes a huge difference in someone else's life. We are very excited to share that we raised $550 and about 140 pounds of canned food from our fundraisers!
