Our first Sort-A-Rama event at the N.C. State Fair grounds since before COVID took place on Wednesday, April 5. Volunteers from Triangle companies sorted and packed over 400,000 pounds of sweet potatoes, white potatoes, carrots, and onions for local families facing hunger.

Beginning in 2012, Sort-A-Rama volunteers have now packed and sorted more than one million meals for distribution to individuals, families, and seniors in need through the Food Bank’s partner agencies in their 34-county service area. The presenting partners for the 2023 Sort-A-Rama were Cisco and Food Lion Feeds.

Additional sponsors included BASF, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, Wegmans, UNC Healthcare, NetApp, and Bank of America.
