Nourishing Our Community

In 2025, the AVMC Dietary Team proudly partnered with the national Chefs to End Hunger program.

The program allows food service teams to safely package untouched excess food and donate it to local organizations that support individuals and families experiencing food insecurity.

AVMC joined the initiative in November 2025, and in just a short time, our dietary team has already donated over 470 pounds of nutritious food.

Beyond reducing waste, this partnership strengthens AVMC’s role as a community leader—supporting sustainability, addressing food insecurity, and demonstrating that the work we do extends well beyond hospital walls.
