That equates to approximately 4,300 people. The Food Bank and their partners provide food, senior commodity boxes, personal supplies, and firewood to citizens of Fauquier County. 

Our goal for the Annual Conference is to raise $3,000.00 in monetary donations or goods for The Food Bank. We are immensely grateful for TAV's generous donations to support The Fauquier Food Bank's efforts to abate food insecurity in Fauquier County. There are two simple ways to donate:
