After a roughly one-month hiatus, Massanutten Resort’s complimentary Food Delivery Program will resume on November 10.
When we launched the Program in late Spring, there was still a lot that was unknown about the pandemic – including precisely how it spread and how significant its impact would be on our region. But we did know this: there were people whose places of employment had shut down and others who, due to health or transportation issues, found food shopping difficult.
It goes without saying that no organization in our county, whether for- or not-for-profit, can feed everybody. But we did see a way to help our neighbors by lightening their load a bit. Thanks to the hard work of Shenandoah Provisions (Great Eastern’s culinary wing) and the willingness of Massanutten community members and resort staffers to volunteer as delivery drivers, we were able to deliver hundreds of complete, wholesome prepared meals to neighbors in need.
As the picture about the impacts of the pandemic on Rockingham County came into sharper focus, we took a breather in late September to evaluate the program, its impact, and the best path forward. We’re ready to resume.
If you – or someone you know – can benefit from the program due to financial or health need, please encourage them to click here to take a brief survey.
