March is International Women’s History Month, and the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina celebrates all the amazing women in our lives! This year we are Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories and the Food Bank is excited to share the stories of many remarkable women, who have shaped the Food Bank into what it is today and the women who continue to carve out the path of fighting food insecurity in our 34-county service area.
