About the Culpeper Food Closet

The Culpeper Food Closet provides food and personal care items to Culpeper families, individuals, and seniors in need of assistance. An outreach ministry of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, it began in 1984 and operates as a full community effort, through the dedicated work of over 80 volunteers from our area. Food and monetary donations are received from local businesses, organizations, churches, and generous individuals. These donations may provide over 3,500 meals weekly for families and individuals, in the town and county of Culpeper. Daytime clients first contact Sam’s Place to complete a food voucher. Sam’s Place (219 S. Davis St. / 540-727-1055) is a part of Culpeper Resource Center, where individuals and families can access information and referrals to community partners. Clients may receive custom packed groceries twice a month during the day.

Many clients do not need help on a regular basis. They may have an unforeseen hardship such as illness, job loss, even a car breakdown. Families are offered hope and encouragement, with three to four days of meals, which covers three meals a day, for each qualified household member. Personal care items are also available.
