MEAL PROGRAMS
How we will use your donations....
Since 2018, before we were even founded and operating as an entity, Pick Up The Pace has happen providing meals to the Hampton Roads communities. We have given meals to local churches, shelters and centers. We have hit the streets and passed out dinner plates to hundreds of those without a place to eat or sleep. We have visited local store fronts and paid for groceries for struggling families to allow them to budget their dollars towards another bill.
​
We have made some good progress over the years with this program, with it being our most productive. As of December 2022, we provided over 1000 plates to the public, which is a big accomplishment for us. As of April 2023, we have provided over $600 in groceries to families who were struggling to make ends meet. With these accomplishments set in place, we want to do even more.
​
We will continue funding all of the efforts as we continue getting donations from the public. We are working to create small grocery pantries in different communities. We are working with restaurants surrounding our communities to help provide even more meals to shelters and those at need.

While we try to keep the people we reach anonymous (with respect to everyone's privacy), we love when the people we work with express their gratitude. Below are some displays of gratitude for our efforts...
We're grateful to Pick Up the Pace and the nonprofit's generous heart to help our homeless neighbors in Hampton Roads. They provided a delicious Friday-night dinner of chicken, rice, string beans, and dessert for all of the men, women, and children who are guests in our emergency shelters. Thank you, Pick Up The Pace, for filling 220 hungry stomachs!
