What it does

The mission of the Organization is to coordinate, support, and advocate for member Food Banks across the Carolinas to create lasting solutions to address hunger.

All activities relate to enhancing the ability and efficiency of the food bank members to solicit and distribute food and grocery products for those in need. Our Farm to Food Bank program provided over 46 million pounds of produce to our food banks to distribute to those in need. Feeding the Carolinas coordinated a network-wide response to the largest disaster in our networks history, Hurricane Helene, providing emergency food aid to tens of thousands of Carolinians, as well as funds for rebuilding and recovery to the charitable food network in North and South Carolina.
