It’s with heavy hearts that we must cancel this year’s Lynchburg Cooks for Hunger Relief. We understand that it is necessary to cancel due to the COVID-19 virus spreading through the area. During this time, we are thinking about the safety of our vendors and our patrons. We all know this is a difficult time and we just want to express the importance of staying strong and staying healthy.

We want to continue to support all our vendors that participate and the community itself. Please take the time to support local businesses while practicing safe measures. Many businesses and restaurants are offering ways for you to do work with them during this difficult time. Please support them! To learn more, please visit downtownlynchburg.com/support-safely to find ways to support our local businesses safely.

With that being said, we are looking towards next year’s event which will be our 30^th year of Lynchburg Cooks for Hunger Relief. We will take this time to make this event a memorable one. Please stayed tune to unitedwaycv.org or United Way of Central Virginia’s Facebook page for updates on this event and others. Thank you for understanding and please stay safe!
