Village Family is a nonprofit corporation organized to rejuvenate and strengthen Norfolk underprivileged residents through supportive programs and activities, including adult education, life skills, clothing, youth mentoring, health awareness, and feeding the undeserved. Village Family fosters a community where every person is responsible for the other adhering to the vision of ‘Continuing What our Ancestors Started’, which is rooted in the foundation that it takes a village to improve the quality of life for all. Together, with a cadre of volunteers, we relieve hunger insecurity; promote education, nutrition and health. Our mission is to make sure that no one that comes to us in need goes without assistance or goes to bed hungry.

Hunger relief is a main thrust for Village Family. Every month, we host food and clothes giveaway "Community Family Reunion" at First Calvary Baptist Church, 813 Henry Street in Norfolk. We strongly believe these activities will continue to have a positive impact by stopping the violence, improving the morale, quality of life, health, literacy and employment of the underserved communities.

Village Family also provides an outreach referral service to encourage businesses and organizations to unify to build the community bond. Village Family Food Pantry & community partners work together every month to provide the best food items and other essentials to those in need. When nonprofits and local businesses work together, both parties PLUS our COMMUNITY reap the benefits. We desire quality items similar to the items that we provide to our own families. One of our concerns is that when people come to us, we want to have the resources available, but we also want them to leave better than they were. The demand for our services continue to increase. Village Family is seeking to assist everyone who comes for assistance, as well as expand and enhance our existing services.

With your support we can do so much more to enhance our current outreach initiatives and programs. Together we can make a positive impact in the community while combating hunger and providing essential resources to improve the qualify of life of those coming from underserved communities. It still takes a village. This is an annual community effort to help youth and families prepare for the upcoming school year!
