September is #HungerActionMonth

A nationwide effort to raise awareness of the worsening hunger crisis — and take action to end it.

Right now, more than 607,000 children, adults, and seniors across Central and Eastern North Carolina don’t know where our next meal might come from. Every day, families are making impossible choices — between food and utilities, gas and medicine, rent and childcare. The demand for food assistance in our region has reached a near-record high, greater than even the peak of the pandemic.

With your support throughout Hunger Action Month and beyond, we can meet these challenges head-on. Your action as a donor, volunteer, and advocate helps our network of 700+ anti-hunger organizations provide food to meet families’ immediate need for support — while organizing for the kind of policies and investments we need to end hunger for good in our communities. 

Help sustain our work.

By setting up an automatic monthly gift, you’ll sustain the Food Bank as a trusted resource for neighbors who need it most.

Advocate for lasting change.

At the local, state, and federal levels, our non-partisan advocacy efforts push for public policies and investments that help us move closer to a future where no one goes hungry.

Volunteer for hunger relief.

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

Dine Out to End Hunger in Our Community

Locally-owned restaurants, bakeries, and breweries are the lifeblood of our community — and we're excited to partner with a host of incredible small businesses throughout Hunger Action Month. When you dine in or order out from participating restaurants, a portion of the proceeds form each #PlateItForward menu item directly benefit the Food Bank. At a time when 1 in 7 of our neighbors don't know where their next meal might come from, it's never been more important to help take hunger off the table.
