How We Help
LHR is a food pantry that provides supplemental food and grocery supplies. Members of LHR are able to pick up food from us up to twice per month but no more than once per week.
LHR serves by appointment at our Leesburg site and with no appointment needed at our mobile sites. We can help you determine if you qualify to receive USDA assistance. If you qualify, we will prepare your order to include USDA food.
Most of the food available at LHR is donated. In fact, 70% of the food we have is from supermarket recovery. That means it may be short-date. It also means we may not have the exact brand of food you prefer. Please click here for information about food dating and safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the process for scheduling my twice-a-month visits?
You can choose to use your two visits either consecutively (two weeks in a row) or with a break in between. But please note: you cannot visit more than once per week. Once you have made your two appointments for the month, you will need to wait until the next month for your next appointment.
To schedule your appointments and view more information about our scheduling system, please visit our SmartChoice FAQ page. You will need your Shopper ID and PIN to access the site.
What if the food provided is not enough?
For emergencies, we offer pre-packed emergency food boxes available whenever LHR’s Leesburg pantry is open.
We do have a short-term extended care program for those who qualify. To learn more about this program, please call us at (703) 777-5911 or email us at info@loudounhunger.org.
