Right now, more than 560,000 people across central and eastern North Carolina don’t have the resources to consistently put three meals on the table. Many pantries, no-cost markets, and meal sites are seeing more people today than we did at the peak of the pandemic. The need for food assistance is up 40 to 60% across our network. And with federal funds for hunger and poverty programs running out, we expect these challenges to grow in the coming months.
That’s where you come in. Thanks to our generous supporter community, we’re excited to offer an opportunity to double our impact for friends and neighbors facing food insecurity.
That means your donation during our holiday drive will go twice as far to provide meals for local families and advocate for long-term change. Select any amount below to double your impact today!
Here’s the thing: hunger is a year-round crisis. And it can be especially challenging as families and loved ones gather during the holiday season.
No one should have to go hungry, period. No matter the time of year. No matter where we live, where we’re from, or the color of our skin.
So many families are experiencing challenges right now — and every dollar you donate to the Food Bank brings us one step closer to a future where no one faces impossible choices between food and medicine or rent and utilities.
Join us and help provide double the support we can provide together — this holiday season and year-round.
There are a host of ways to make a difference right now in the fight to end hunger. If you’re able, please take a minute to lend your time, your voice, or your financial support as we write the Food Bank’s next chapter together!
