The Food Bank Network: working toward a future where no one goes hungry – no matter where we live, where we’re from, or the color of our skin.
Our network is made of more than 700 incredible pantries, no-cost markets, meal sites, and delivery programs across central and eastern North Carolina.
From school-based pantries and mobile markets, to senior centers and faith-based organizations, each organization is firmly rooted in a local neighborhood or community. Combined, we source and distribute enough food to fuel more than 100 million meals each year – alongside programs that connect community members to essential resources like healthcare, utility assistance, and affordable housing.
