EY2S Feeding Families
And if you give yourself to the hungry
And satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
Then your light will rise in darkness
And your gloom will become like midday.
-Isaiah 58:10
The EY2S Feeding Families Program started in response to the hardships we saw in Norfolk because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through various partnerships throughout Tidewater, we have been able to collect and distribute aid to where it is needed.
