Commissioners & Cans Food Drive 2024

Across the Commonwealth, the various Commissioners of the Revenue offices are taking on the fight against food insecurity through the month of August.

Now in its sixth year, the Commissioners & Cans Food and Fund Drive is a month-long competition among Virginia’s Commissioners of Revenue offices to join together to raise food and funds for their local food banks throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Offices compete to collect the most food/funds during a time of the year when resources are in short supply and the need remains great.

“We are honored to participate yet again in such a worthwhile cause,“ said Todd Divers, Charlottesville Commissioner of the Revenue.

Drop Off Locations:

  • Treasurer’s Lobby – First Floor of City Hall Outside the Commissioner of the Revenue’s Window
  • First Floor of City Hall Hallway Outside Council Chambers – Second Floor of City Hall

Online Giving: Every $1 donated helps provide enough food for 4 meals!

This event is FREE and open to the public. As always, we will pass the hat for donations to help support the Haven, the multi-resource day shelter downtown (112 West Market Street).

Our neighborhood  raised $678 (not bad!) at our first two concerts of the summer. We have a chance to surpass any of our previous summer concert efforts (begun in 2020) if we can keep this momentum going.
