Food Drive Donations

The Food Bank welcomes the community to donate factory-sealed non-perishable products and beverages, refrigerated or frozen items and produce, and non-food essentials such as hygiene items, cleaning items, or paper products. Perishable items must be donated during business hours and not into one of the sheds. Due to food safety regulations, we ask that you do not donate food items that are unsealed, loose items without ingredients listed, glass containers, or loose glass or plastic jars of baby food. These items must be discarded.

Food System Donations

The Food Bank works to provide the most nutritious and enjoyable foods possible to the communities we serve. Thanks to the generous support of our community, we’re able to work across the food system to obtain and provide access to food to people in need. We gladly accept food from retail donors, farmers and growers, and food manufacturers that is nutritious and safe for consumption yet might be considered unsellable.

Volunteer at The Food Bank

From sorting food in our warehouses, to distributing resources in the community, to advocating for stronger safety nets, volunteers are the heart and soul of our work at the Food Bank. Whether you’re an individual supporter or represent a large group, there are a host of opportunities to help bring us closer to a future where no one goes hungry — no matter where we live, where we’re from, or the color of our skin.

Join Our Young Professionals Council

The Council brings together community members age 21-40 to raise awareness of rising hunger in our region — and efforts to meet these challenges head-on. Join a community that makes a difference and grows together!

Advocate for A Hunger-free Future

Alongside efforts to meet the rising demand for food assistance, we work to connect communities to build long-term solutions to hunger. Our non-partisan advocacy efforts push for public policies and investments that help us move closer to a future where no one goes hungry.

GIve through A Donor Advised Fund

Give through your donor advised fund (DAF) to make a difference in the lives of neighbors in central and eastern North Carolina.  Akin to a charitable savings account, a DAF gives you the flexibility to recommend how much and how often money is granted to the Food Bank and other qualified charities.

You can recommend a grant or recurring grants to support our hunger relief programs and initiatives to make an immediate impact. Or use your fund as a tool for future charitable gifts. If you include the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina in your plans, please use our legal name and federal tax ID.

Qualified Charitable Distributions through IRAs

If you are age 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can make a big difference in the fight to end hunger while helping to reduce your taxable income. For those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! Our secure online toolkit makes it easy to give from your IRA and auto-complete your paperwork — and the Food Bank can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
