In response to feedback from the membership on how we can 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.

This important organization has QUADRUPLED the number of households it serves since January 2020.

                        

We are hoping to raise $6,000 to feed our local neighbors by Fri., July 31st. If the CAAR membership reaches its $6,000 goal, Rick Walden of Virginia Estates will match it! There are three ways to make a donation:

1. Online
