In response to feedback from the membership on how we can continue to support the community during the COVID-19 pandemic, CAAR is launching a fundraiser benefiting the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank (BRAFB) Mobile Food Pantry (MFP).

When there isn’t a partner food pantry located in rural areas of high need, or access to fresh produce is very limited, BRAFB mobilize a refrigerated MFP. Visits to MFPs were up 23% in summer 2020 compared to summer 2019, so the need to support our neighbors continues!

                        

CAAR hopes to raise $5,000 to feed our local neighbors by Wed., Mar. 31st. If the CAAR membership reaches its $5,000 goal, Virginia Estates will match it! There are three ways to make a donation:

1. Online
Donate online using the dedicated Blue Ridge Area Food Bank & CAAR webpage.

2. Check
Make your check payable to BRAFB and mail it to the BRAFB headquarters at PO Box 937, Verona, VA 24482 and write CAAR/MFP in the memo line. 

3. Cash
You may drop of your cash donation at the CAAR office on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. – Noon. Please include a note including: CAAR/MFP, your name, and your mailing address.
