Each year the Food Bank rescues from grocers over 5,000,000 pounds of
nutritious food (canned goods, fruits and vegetables, meats, bread, dry
packaged foods, etc.) that would have otherwise been disposed of. In
addition, the Food Bank also receives non-food donations such as bikes,
furniture, and clothing.

Eve n t s
A visit to the Second Harvest Food
Bank in eastern Fayetteville is a true
eye-opener. It is difficult to imagine
the need until you walk into the food
bank's giant freezer or see the rows of
warehouse shelves waiting for food.
The charity depends on donations to
fill those shelves and feed the hungry
in southeastern North Carolina. And
the need is more urgent than ever.
In hard times, workers say, families
are forced to make a choice between
food and rent. But you can help.
Check out the Upcoming Events for
ways to do your part.
