It’s #HungerActionDay and every action – big or small – is one step closer to our vision that #NoOneGoesHungry in central and eastern North Carolina. Today we’d love it if you could share our work with a friend. Educate by letting them know that 1 in 7 of our neighbors deals with food insecurity. Send them one of our social media or blog posts that resonates with you or ask them to visit HungerActionNC.org to check out our 30 Ways in 30 Days calendar. Together we can make an impact for our community!

Teresa Dew Kelly, our Director of Regional Development in the Sandhills, was recently featured in The Pilot LLC newspaper! Before joining the Food Bank, Teresa was the Executive Director of Food Bank partner agency CHRISTIANS UNITED OUTREACH CENTER for 15 years. It gave Teresa a unique perspective into the work we do together. “I've been there. I've worked on the front line with the clients, serving the clients in our community and listening to their needs.” #NoOneGoesHungry Read more here: https://bit.ly/3B7Cqwn

Today is National Food Bank Day, and we’d like to thank all the donors, volunteers, and partner agencies who make our work possible. Without you and our wonderful staff, we would not be able to provide upwards of 90 million meals each year to our friends and neighbors. Want to be a part of it? September is #HungerActionMonth so it’s the perfect time to join in! Visit hungeractionNC.org to find an action you can take this month to help fight hunger. #NoOneGoesHungry

Just like that summer is over! Our Programs Team and partner sites worked so hard this summer to ensure kids and teens in our service area didn’t miss out on meals. Thanks to all the sites and vendors that participated in the #SummerFoodServiceProgram and made all of this possible! #SFSP #NoOneGoesHungry

We are happy to be teaming with the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle this September for #HungerActionMonth!

Children thrive when they have access to satisfying and nutritional food. For children who receive breakfast and lunch at school, weekends can bring about heightened food insecurity. Weekend Power Packs provide kids and teens with a backpack full of food for the weekend. Learn more about how you can ensure kids don't go #hungry on the weekends. #NoOneGoesHungry https://bit.ly/4ddsQGJ

**September 2024 Pop Up Market Schedule** Helpful Tip: If you are in need of assistance and a Pop Up Market is not close by, please, use one of our amazing Partner Agencies. They can provide personalized care, sometimes provide more than food, and they are getting the same items we are distributing at our Pop Ups. Find an agency near you by visiting https://lnkd.in/g_ESQvSi and typing in your zip code into the search bar. It will generate Partner Agencies and list them from closest to farthest from you. #popupmarkets #NoOneGoesHungry And please, bring your own bags or boxes if possible.
