Donor Advisded Fund (DAF) Day

On October 1, federal budget cuts took effect that threaten the heart of our community food system. 

Because of these cuts, food banks here in North Carolina can no longer purchase nearly as much fresh, locally grown food from farms in our communities. That means fewer fruits, vegetables, and protein on the tables of children, seniors, veterans, and families who depend on us.

Support through Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) can help fill the gap.

If you've shown your commitment before by recommending a grant from your Donor Advised Fund, please know that your DAF support is urgently needed today. With fewer resources available, neighbors are at risk of losing not only meals, but the healthy, Carolina-grown produce that helps them thrive.

It only takes a few minutes to make a difference.

Recommending a grant from your DAF is simple, and it has an immediate impact. Your support will:

• Replace the fresh, local produce that federal cuts have taken away.
• Ensure children, veterans, and seniors have nutritious meals they can count on.
• Strengthen North Carolina’s food system by supporting both neighbors and local farmers.

If needed, here’s our information:

• Legal Name: Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina
• Address: 1924 Capital Blvd, Raleigh, NC 27604
• Federal Tax ID: 56-1283426

Every gift matters. 

Please recommend your Donor Advised Fund gift today so that families can continue to access the food — and the dignity — everyone deserves.
