CCWVa’s Mobile Food Pantry program makes nutritious food accessible to 6 WV counties experiencing food insecurity. The program serves households with incomes at or below 150% of federal poverty level.

Between July 1, 2024, and June 30, 2025, the Mobile Food Pantry served over 1,200 people from nearly 700 distinct households.
