Annual Impact Report 2023

2023 was a year of milestones for the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry (HRFP)- milestones we thought we would never see. Our client numbers soared 62% over the previous year increasing from 37,000 to 60,000. Our household numbers rocketed from 9,300 to 14,000. While we’re incredibly proud of helping so many, we knew we could not maintain that level of effort for long.

Strategic Plan

In accordance with our strategic planning efforts, we are refocusing and recommitting ourselves for 2024, making changes to provide the best experience for our clients and volunteers. These changes will result in lower client numbers by design directly associated with a reduction in our service area. We are reminded of our Mission Statement which states, "We are dedicated to eliminating hunger by providing food to those in need of assistance in Haymarket, Gainesville, and surrounding areas." We know where we perform best for the most and moving forward, we will focus on those metrics.

2024 Strategic Plan (updated April 1, 2024)

In January 2024, the HRFP Planning Team began assessing the state of food insecurity in Prince William County and the dramatic growth in clients over the last couple of years. After thorough discussion, we concluded that the paramount issue facing the HRFP was sustainability.

As such, we set out to implement five strategies and associated action plans for each we will use to achieve our mission, vision, and sustainability in 2024.
