SML Gives Inc. is a nonprofit organization rooted in the Smith Mountain Lake community with a mission to fight hunger and strengthen local families. We support food pantries, soup kitchens, and direct-to-neighbor programs across Franklin County and surrounding areas by sourcing food, raising funds, and building capacity for small but mighty hunger-relief agencies.

What began as a grassroots effort among neighbors has grown into an incorporated 501(c)(3) that hosts community fundraisers, organizes mobile food distributions, and connects families with resources that go beyond a meal—career readiness, housing support, and pathways to long-term stability.

Every dollar raised helps provide healthy meals, expand pantry shelves, and ensure our neighbors don’t just survive, but thrive. Together, we’re creating a community where no one is left behind at the table.

No one gets left behind.
