The Virginia Natural Gas Foundation Donates $60,000 To Address Food Insecurity in South Hampton Roads
Rhea-AI Summary
The Virginia Natural Gas Foundation has awarded a $60,000 grant to support the Children's Health Investment Program (CHIP) of South Hampton Roads' initiative to improve the health and well-being of children and families in southeastern Virginia. The grant will allow CHIP officials to begin construction of a community kitchen that will seek to address food insecurity, as well as provide educational programs centering on affordable, healthy meals and healthy cooking demonstrations that honor diverse culinary cuisines and traditions. In Hampton Roads, two of every five school-aged children live in poverty, which is one reason why the VNG Foundation decided to join CHIP's effort to confront this important issue. Food insecurity, caused by limited access to resources, contributes to chronic health conditions and malnutrition, especially in vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. The VNG Foundation's grant will help provide consistent access to adequate food options and long-term educational support for individuals in South Hampton Roads.
