About Us

SML Gives Inc. – Neighbors Helping Neighbors SML Gives Inc. is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to ending hunger and uplifting families across Smith Mountain Lake, Franklin County, and surrounding Virginia communities. Founded from the grassroots spirit of neighbors helping neighbors, SML Gives inc began in 2021 when local families came together to host small holiday food and fundraising events. What started as a few families pooling resources has quickly grown into a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a bold mission: to connect resources, partnerships, and people in order to fight hunger and strengthen our community. Our Mission At SML Gives Inc., we believe no one should go to bed hungry. Our mission is to mobilize resources, engage volunteers, and connect neighbors in need with critical food assistance and supportive services. We aim to provide both immediate relief—ensuring kitchen staples are on the table—and long-term pathways toward self-sufficiency, job readiness, and stability.
