1 in 4 Children

Did you know, 1 in 4 children living in Martinsville and Henry County live in poverty?

Their parents, many being the working poor, struggle to balance paying the bills and providing enough food for a growing child. A rising number of families, some with both parents laid off from their jobs, have maxed out their unemployment benefits, and are left in an impossible situation with nowhere to turn.

The Community Storehouse offers hope to those who would otherwise be hungry. That's what the agency means to thousands of Southside Virginia's citizens. We are passionately pursuing a hunger free community. Won't you join us? With your nominal donation, we can make a huge difference in the lives of our needy neighbors.
