Virginia Community Capital President and CEO and CDBA Chairman Jane Henderson has been appointed to Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe's Commonwealth Council on Bridging the Nutritional Divide. The council aims to eliminate childhood hunger with nutritional assistance programs, increase access to healthy local foods, and facilitate local healthy-living initiatives. Virginia Community Capital is doing its part with a loan to Seven Hills Food, which plans to open a meat processing facility in Lynchburg. The plant is expected to create a new market for local farmers while creating 43 jobs. “VCC is excited to be able to help Seven Hills Food expand meat processing capacity across Virginia, thereby increasing the Commonwealth’s residents’ access to local foods," said Senior Loan Officer Dawn DeHart.
