Maya and Devon spotlight Feed More, Central Virginia's core hunger-relief nonprofit — born July 1, 2008 from the merger of Meals on Wheels (established 1967 with eight clients) and the Central Virginia Food Bank (created 1980 by 60 local churches and charities). Plus why now: the Mustaches for Kids Richmond Growing Season runs November 4 through December 4, 2026, with hundreds of growers raising funds for Richmond-based children's charities, and Feed More fielding its own growing team.
