Hunger Matters, Fall 2025 Edition

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
