Find help for your family
Each program works a little differently. Here’s how to get started.
Weekend Power Pack
Weekend food for your child
Bags of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack items for students to take home on weekends, school holidays, snow days, and over the summer.
During the school year: contact us or your child’s school counselor to sign up.
In the summer: we partner with local organizations such as Fauquier Community Child Care (FCCC), and share power packs at summer events including FRESH, FCPS STEAM, and FCPS Back to School. Dates and times are posted at the start of each summer on our Weekend Power Pack page.
All year long: power packs are available at Fauquier County Public Library branches. Find library locations and hours.
Book Bag & School Supplies
School supplies for your student
Book bags filled with the school supplies your child needs for their grade, sponsored by local businesses, churches, organizations, and neighbors.
For the upcoming school year: applications open in May, and supplies are distributed in August. Application and dates are posted in May on our Book Bag & School Supplies page.
During the school year: ask for supplies when you pick up food at the Food Pantry.
Senior Nutrition
Groceries for seniors
For seniors who find it hard to get to the Food Pantry because of health, mobility, or transportation, we deliver groceries right to their door each month. Seniors are referred to us by the Fauquier County Department of Social Services (DSS). We also bring monthly pop-up pantries to senior housing communities across the area.
Have questions? We’re happy to help. Email us at info@fauquierfish.org.
FISH Network
Food anytime, no sign-up
Our free little food pantries are stocked with food and essentials in neighborhoods around the county. They’re open to anyone, any time, with no sign-up. Take what you need, and share what you can.
