Plenty!'s GiveLocalNRV Event

Plenty! started in 2008 when one of our founders, Karen Day realized that the local food pantry could not take fresh beet greens that she gleaned at a farm where she was volunteering. She and Co-founder McCabe Coolidge immediately went to work finding who could use the surplus. From this germ grew Portable Produce and then the Plenty! Fresh Pantry. Plenty! was an all-volunteer organization until 2016 when the founders were forced to stop the work due to personal matters. Plenty! gained non-profit status in 2015 and now distributes food year-round five days a week. The Farm began in 2014 on 17 acres along the Little River. It uses organic practices, like crop rotations and cover crops to sustain the health of the land and to provide clean, healthy food year-round The work of Plenty! would not be possible without the help of more than 50 volunteers each week operating under the direction of Plenty! staff.

GiveLocalNRV is a virtual fundraising platform for nonprofits serving the New River Valley. The annual Giving Day takes place in June, raising funds and awareness for local nonprofits.

We are excited to share a unique opportunity with you. A generous donor (Matt Sebas-Owner of Omnibuild) has offered a $25,000 matching gift challenge to support our mission to nourish and empower our neighbors in need. 

Here's the best part: if we can match this donation, pantry costs will be covered for several months! This means we can focus on providing even more essential services and programs such as Home Delivery and Mobile Pantry to the Floyd Community. 

Every gift counts, and we are grateful for your consideration. Please help us meet this challenge. You can make a secure online donation by clicking the link below or by mailing a check to 192 Elephant Curve Rd NW, Floyd, VA 24091. 

Thank you for your continued support and generosity. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our neighbors and build a stronger, more compassionate community.
