Empowering Culpeper

Members of Healthy Culpeper have collaborated to form a committee that provides food commodities (staples) for low-income families in Culpeper County. Distribution is held each month at Culpeper United Methodist Church (1233 Oaklawn Drive), from 9-11 a.m. The Culpeper Connector provides drop off and Pick up transportation to the church.

Families that are income eligible will be enrolled to receive food commodities on a monthly basis. Households that receive Food Stamps or Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are automatically eligible. Please be there on time-registration and distribution takes a little time.
