Rather than receiving a pre-packed box, neighbors are welcomed into a shopping-style space to choose what best fits their needs, preferences and dietary requirements.
- DignityChoosing for yourself restores a sense of independence during a hard season.
- Your household's needsRoom for cultural, medical and dietary needs, and for what your family actually likes.
- Less wasteFamilies take what they'll use, so good food isn't thrown away.
More than Food. More than a Pantry. A place where dignity matters.The CRS Client Choice promise
27 years of showing up for our neighbors.
Long before "community hub" was part of the conversation, CRS was here, fighting hunger and building hope in rural Southside Virginia.
Where it began
Fighting hunger close to home
CRS began with a focus on food insecurity for families in Lunenburg and surrounding counties.

Federal food programs, delivered with regional partners like FeedMore, bring staples and fresh produce to income-eligible neighbors and older adults.
Rescuing good food

Community workshops with guest speakers on senior services, legal rights, social services and financial wellness.
