Virginia Community Food Connections (VCFC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating healthy, food-secure communities and equitable regional food systems by ensuring access to fresh and local produce for all. Established in 2015, VCFC collaborates with small farmers, local nonprofits, and key stakeholders to address food security and promote affordable access to fresh produce throughout the region. VCFC operates several programs, including SNAP and Virginia Fresh Match, which enable recipients to use their benefits at local farmers' markets while receiving additional healthy produce. Through initiatives like WIC Veggie Vouchers and the Farm to Pantry program, VCFC distributes fresh fruits and vegetables to low-income households, fostering improved nutrition and community well-being.
