Help brighten the holidays for local families with our friends at WECT and Food Lion!
Right now, close to 84,000 people in the Cape Fear Region don't know where their next meal might come from ā a challenge that truly hits home as many families gather for the winter holidays.Ā
That's where our holiday drive with WECT and Food Lion Feeds comes in. Kicking off November 21, communities throughout the region will come together to donate meals to help ensure no one in our community goes hungry. Donations are collected at Food Lion locations through Wednesday, December 9.Ā
ā Amy Beros Food Bank President & CEOOur communities were already facing the most significant hunger we've seen in at least a generation, and the rising cost of living has made this holiday season even more challenging for far too many families. Support for this year's drive with our friends WECT is more important than ever.
