2025 Food Drive

Donate food to help Loudoun Residents

Donate food for residents in need

From April 19-27, all LCPL branches will be accepting healthy, shelf-stable food items for distribution by Loudoun Hunger Relief (LHR), which serves approximately 3,400 people each week. Groceries must be unopened and unexpired.

"The LCPL Food Drive is not just about providing meals; it's about showing our neighbors we care. Together, we can help lift those in need, one donation at a time. We’re grateful for the support." — Jennifer Montgomery, LHR President and CEO
