Raised Bed Gardens – Help Needed May 27, 2021August 8, 2021 LTN Admin Leave a comment An LTN volunteer, Lydia, is planning and supervising the construction of raised bed gardens behind the Love Thy Neighbor building. She is doing this for her American Heritage Girls capstone project. Having gardens will allow us to grow our own produce, to supplement what is donated to us! We need volunteers to help! Work starts on Memorial Day and will continue through June. If you’d like to spend 2 to 3 hours getting your hands dirty for a good cause, please sign up here.

Partnership with Fredericksburg Food Bank December 18, 2020March 9, 2021 LTN Admin Leave a comment We are pleased to announce that Love Thy Neighbor King George is partnering with the Fredericksburg Regional Food Bank. This makes us a food pantry under the umbrella of Feeding America, the country’s largest organization in the fight against hunger and food insecurity, a nationwide network connecting surplus food supplies to areas of need. Our identity and our mission remain the same: “Neighbors helping neighbors in King George and surrounding counties.” This partnership gives us more resources, so we can offer more help to folks that need it. It will also help us stretch our dollars. FRFB can provide food at a fraction of retail cost. That allows us to get more food! To see some pictures of our first food delivery from FRFB, check out our Facebook page.
