Feeding Greene, Inc. began its journey in January 1995, stemming from a Stanardsville Baptist Church
WMU Project. With the support of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, we opened our doors on January 15,
1995 serving 15 families a month. In 2011, the pantry left the church, rebranded as Feeding Greene, Inc.,
and relocated to 72 Lambs Lane. We received our 501(c)(3) status in 2014 and acquired a permanent
home in April 2020 located at 81 Main Street in Stanardsville. We renovated our space in November
2020 and installed walk-ins, a stockroom, a receiving area, and office space.
Since September 2021, Feeding Greene has expanded its services by delivering Backpack food to local
schools, including the Skyline CAP's Head Start Program. In October 2021, we adopted a "Full Client Choice" model, allowing weekly shopping visits and a more dignified experience much like a normal
grocery store. This approach includes ID cards with barcodes for easy tracking and emphasizes a healthy
pantry model with a stoplight system marking nutritional values. Home deliveries have grown from
offering once-a-month delivery in 1995 to now offering twice-a-month deliveries.
Today, Feeding Greene, Inc. remains an all-volunteer organization and continues to evolve under
dedicated leadership, committed volunteers, and generous community support, serving families and
contributing to a stronger community. We are currently serving over 700 families through 1,700 visits a
month. We now offer assistance in applying for vital programs including SNAP, TANF, TEFAP, Medicaid,
and references for WIC, Medicare, digital literacy education, job training, quality childcare, budget
counseling, and legal assistance. We continue to shift our focus and direct our efforts to the ever-
changing needs of the families we serve.
