As demand continues to rise, Abingdon Faith in Action is urgently requesting support from the community to help restock its food pantry shelves. Currently serving an average of 600–700 families each month, the organization anticipates distributing over 7,000 canned food items this month alone—far exceeding its current inventory.
Faith in Action is calling for canned and non-perishable food donations to ensure local families do not go without the basic items they need. Donations are being accepted at several locations, including a convenient drop-off site in Meadowview through September 1, 2025.

Monday–Friday | 8 a.m.– 5 p.m.
