Sir:

The number of "food insecure" people in Virginia has increased tremendously because of the economy. Ten of thousands lost their jobs, lost their homes and lost their faith that they can get back on their feet.

The Volunteer Farm will attempt to grow more food this year to meet the demand. We would like to produce 100 tons of fresh vegetables, up from 65 tons last year. However, we need your financial support to serve almost half the state, including both sides of the Blue Ridge Mountains, as well as our expansion into the populated areas of Northern Virginia.

All the nutritious vegetables we grow go to the food banks to supplement the canned goods given to your hungry neighbors. Kids need good nutrition.

Please help with a generous tax-deductible donation by mailing a check today to the Volunteer Farm, 277 Crider Lane, Woodstock 22664. Or you can make a donation online at www.Volunteer Farm.org, where you can also register to volunteer.
