Cookout For a Cause
Carnival/Festival for FEEDTHSTREETSRVAAug 12, 2023 from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
FeedTheStreetsRVA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to create a community that responds to the basic needs of all in order to address symptoms of poverty. Our motto is, alleviating poverty and engaging communities. We recognize that poverty does not equate to homelessness so our initiatives benefit housed families, those who are homeless living in shelters, and those who are homeless living freely in the community. We actively serve the metro Richmond community with empathy and compassion. FeedTheStreetsRVA began in 2016 and has since been hosting events and programs for the community.
This event is an annual Cook Out that is open to all community members free of cost. This year's event is sponsored by Sentara. Hygiene products, nonperishable food items, and clothing items will be accepted at entry. The collected items will be used to restock the hygiene pantries throughout Richmond, VA and given to other local community organizations. The event will have free food for community members while supplies last and various activities such as activity stations, bounce houses, organized games, etc. There will be a DJ, and live performances from local bands and CCB. This event has been a huge success in previous years and has been an opportunity to introduce community members to local resources.
