Are You Looking for Ways to Give Back During the Holiday Season?
Whether it is Donating Food, Funds, or Time...You Can Make a Difference.
Give Food
When you choose to host a Fund and/or Food Drive, you help secure the food and resources needed to feed our neighbors in need across 24 counties in North and South Carolina. Download our Shopping List for our most needed items.
Fun Ideas:
-
Hold a party or luncheon as part of the drive with the price of admission set at 5 cans of food or a $5 donation. Remember, every $1 Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina receives, we can purchase 7 pounds of food.
-
Organize a contest between departments, teams or groups with awards for the group that raises the most food and/or financial contributions. Give prizes like a pizza lunch, a free party, an extra hour for lunch or breakfast with an executive.

Give Time
Volunteers are vital to the success of the Food Bank and to our community in need. If you are looking for a way to give back to our community, meet new people, and participate in a project that feeds hungry children, seniors, families, veterans and pets, then you have found the right place! In 2020-2021, 76,300 volunteers made it possible for the Food Bank to operate. NC Independent Sector for nonprofits calculates volunteer time at $25.98 per hour which equates to more than 6.9 million dollars in savings for the Food Bank.
