Black History and the Fight to End Hunger
Black leadership formed an early cornerstone of the movement to end hunger — and remains vital to our work today.
Our Statement on USDA Elimination of Vital Hunger Data
We are excited to welcome David Garris as the new Chair of the Food Bank Board of Directors!
We are excited to welcome David Garris, a longtime Food Lion executive, as the new Chair of the Food Bank Board of Directors!
David brings 17 years of Operations experience as Food Lion's Vice President in the Mid-Atlantic Division. We look forward to David's leadership in the fight to end hunger.
As a lifelong resident of eastern North Carolina, David is committed to building a future where no one has to face the impossible choice between dinner and rent. For two years in a row, David helped lead team members from Food Lion FEEDS who volunteered at all six Food Bank branches in just one day. The 2nd Annual 'Food Lion Feeds' Volunteer Day brought together a record-breaking 650+ Food Lion team members across all our locations to nourish our community.
Cross-sector leadership like David's is needed more than ever.
Over 607,000 people in our area are facing hunger, including 168,000 kids. That’s 1 in 7 people you pass in the grocery store, at work, or in your neighborhood. But we believe there’s nothing this community can’t overcome when we work together — and Food Lion has long stood hand-in-hand with our hunger relief network to help stem the tide.
– Amy Beros Food Bank President & CEOEvery pantry I visit, without fail, someone brings up Food Lion. A story about an associate who went above and beyond. A load of protein that showed up right when they needed it. A relationship that feels real, not transactional. That’s the kind of partnership Food Lion built with us. We are so grateful for the work Food Lion does every single day to end hunger in our community.
Joining David are incoming board members who will help bring this work to new heights as we launch our 2030 strategic plan, Rooted In Community.
Together, we are strengthening community partnerships and increasing access to nutritious food — all while ramping up efforts to prevent hunger from happening in the first place. We have full confidence that David's leadership will help ensure continued success for the Food Bank as we advance our vision of a future where no one goes hungry.
