Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina

Food distribution and food assistance are the core services of this regional food bank. Its network of more than 700 anti-hunger organizations includes food pantries and meal sites, and offers free food resources for communities across the region. Mobile Pop-Up Markets distribute fresh produce and pantry staples in areas where food resources are difficult to access. The organization also shares information about local food distributions, school-based programs, and help with grocery costs. Volunteers support warehouse food sorting, community distributions, and advocacy, while food drives help supply distribution efforts. The Food Bank serves Central and Eastern North Carolina from Raleigh. Its work also includes helping people enroll in SNAP, known in North Carolina as FNS or Food Stamps.
