JCOC Celebrates 35 Years of Help. Hope. Healing

Judeo-Christian Outreach Center is celebrating its 35th Anniversary! Our staff, volunteers and community join together every day to bring Help. Hope. and Healing to the homeless and hungry in Hampton Roads.

In 1986, faith-based organizations in Virginia Beach came together to help hungry people around the oceanfront. In the beginning, meals were served on Saturdays but there was such a need that very quickly dinners were being served Monday through Saturday.

Today, under the leadership of Todd Walker, JCOC partners with over 100 volunteer groups, churches, synagogues, civic groups and individuals to serve tens of thousands of free meals annually to its neighbors. JCOC operates a food pantry and a Family Food Box Program that provides free groceries to hungry families, individuals and veterans – both housed and homeless.
