The Hunger Resource Center helps families in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. Many of our clients are forced to choose between putting food on the table or paying their household bills. The HRC helps families avoid this difficult choice — and stave off the perils of homelessness.

NVFS’ Hunger Resource Center (HRC, or Centro de Recursos para Prevenir el Hambre) at our SERVE Campus provides approximately 400 Prince William County families every month with:

  • Emergency food assistance
  • Nutrition information
  • Strategies for buying healthy food on a budget

Did You Know? The HRC can purchase food from the Capital Area Food Bank for a flat fee of $0.19 per pound, meaning that $100 can buy more than 500 pounds of food.
