Hunger Matters, Fall 2025 Edition
Featuring Hunger Action Month efforts, vital Sustainer support, state and federal agriculture priorities, honoring Craig Campbell's legacy, and more!
I’m glad to share your fall Hunger Matters newsletter with you. You’ll find updates on current needs in our community, a Stop Summer Hunger wrap-up, and some thoughts on how we can show up together as hunger rises in North Carolina. It’s a reminder that our community truly can make a difference.
Of course, one way to show up for the 1 in 7 people facing hunger is to make a gift to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Because every $1 is enough for 3 meals, a gift of any size goes a long way. You’ll also support our efforts to address the root causes of hunger as we work toward a future where no one goes hungry.
Thank you for your friendship and support,
Amy Beros
President & CEO
Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina
