FEEDING HOPE For the Holidays

Everyday Hunger is Still Prevalent

Let’s fight food insecurity this holiday season!

As we reflect on all that we’re grateful for this holiday season, we’re also reminded of thousands of food-insecure individuals and families in the Carolinas who desperately need access to food.

While western North Carolina continues to heal from the devastation of Hurricane Helene, the broader challenge of hunger remains urgent across both states. The generosity of new and existing supporters has been a powerful force of hope. Yet the need for basic nourishment in our communities endures.

Our network of ten member Food Banks is united in providing consistent, equitable access to healthy foodbut we need your help too!

Together, we can Feed Hope For the Holidays by providing essential food and resources to Carolinians in need.

How YOU Can Feed Hope

1. MAKE A FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION

Whether it’s buying food at their volume discount, replacing damaged equipment from Helene, or the ability to buy culturally and medically diverse food items for the communities they serve, your financial gift is the fastest and most effective way to support Food Banks this holiday season.

2. REPLENISH FOOD SHELVES

Donate essential food items to help our Food Banks restock and serve communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

Our network has been working tirelessly to provide meals and emergency support to affected areas. By donating high-demand items, you can help replenish their shelves and keep their critical work going.
