The Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC
We would like to extend our THANK YOU to all our clients that participated in last year's food bank event.
Thank you for joining us and helping address the needs of families, seniors and children at risk of hunger. Paulina Real Estate Team, Inc. and Cary Keller Williams Realty associates were able to donate a total of 4,835 pounds of food during the 2007 Heart of Carolina Food Drive!
We are looking forward to continue this effort in 2008! Stay tuned for further details...
HISTORY
Established in 1980, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina is a non-profit organization that provides food to people at risk of hunger in 34 counties in central and eastern North Carolina. In 2006-07, the Food Bank distributed over 32.6 million pounds of food through 870 partner agencies including soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and after school programs for children.
Sadly, hunger remains a serious problem in central and eastern North Carolina. More than 400,000 people in the Food Bank's 34-county service area struggle each day. Nearly 30 percent of the people served by the Food Bank’s network are children, and another 18 percent are elderly. Thirty-eight percent of the families served are the “working poor” – people who work hard and still have to choose between eating and other basic necessities such as medicine and housing.
The Food Bank operates 5 branch warehouses: a primary facility in Raleigh and warehouses in Durham, Greenville, Wilmington and Southern Pines. Click here for locations, hours and contact phone numbers.
