66 Express Drivers Raise Over $40,000 to “Drive Out Hunger” Across Northern Virginia

Campaign delivers major impact for local non-profits working to fight food insecurity

December 5, 2025 – Manassas, VA – Thousands of drivers helped make the inaugural “Drive Out Hunger” weekend a major success, raising more than $40,000 to support families facing food insecurity across Northern Virginia. Proceeds were distributed to four frontline organizations — Food for Others, Northern Virginia Family Service’s (NVFS) Hunger Resource Center, the Haymarket Regional Food Pantry, and the Prince William County Community Foundation’s CHOW Wagon — each serving as a vital resource for local families.

This year’s impact grew even stronger thanks to an additional $5,000 contribution from Cintra, a leading global infrastructure investor and one of the principal companies behind the I-66 Express Mobility Partners consortium. Cintra’s support underscores the partnership’s shared commitment to strengthening communities along the corridor.

In total, Food for Others received $17,500, helping expand emergency grocery distribution at a time of heightened seasonal need. NVFS was also allocated $12,500 to bolster food assistance and wraparound services for families working toward long-term stability. The Haymarket Regional Food Pantry received $5,000 to continue providing dignified, reliable support to western Prince William County, while the CHOW Wagon program was awarded $5,000 to deliver food and essentials directly to students in local schools.

“These partnerships allow us to reach families right when they need it most,” said Nancy H. Smith, Director of Corporate Affairs for I-66 Express Mobility Partners. “We’re grateful to every driver who helped their neighbors simply by choosing the 66 Express.”

I-66 EMP will continue supporting local families throughout the holiday season through its upcoming children’s winter-clothing collection benefiting Boxes of Basics.
