Hunger Matters, Fall 2025 Edition

Elected officials, community leaders and hunger-relief advocates gathered for the grand opening of the Food Lion Feeds Hunger Solution Center, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina’s new 64,000-square-foot facility in Durham.

Join hunger relief leaders across the network in thanking legislators for responding to our collective advocacy — and help reinforce that we are eager to continue working together to address even greater challenges ahead.

We are excited to welcome longtime Food Lion executive David Garris as the incoming Chair of the Food Bank Board of Directors. David brings 17 years of Operations experience as Food Lion's Vice-President in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
