Food Program

The need for the VEAP Food Pantry continues to grow. In recent years, the number of clients served has increased by over 10%. Approximately 45% of the clients we serve are children. VEAP Food Programs offer necessary sustenance, discreet shopping opportunities, and a much needed reduction in grocery costs.

The VEAP food program includes:

Food Pantry

A five-day supply of food which includes non-perishable food, protein, fresh vegetables, fruit and dairy. Also hygiene products and baby products for families with small children. Designed to ensure no one goes hungry.

Holiday Food

Groceries and certificates to provide families the opportunities to maintain their own traditional holiday celebrations.

Holiday Meals

Holiday hot meals and fellowship delivered to elderly or disabled individuals who are unable to cook for themselves and would be alone on the holidays.
