Dear Friend,

Thanksgiving is just one month away. For many, that means food, family, and gratitude. But for more than 560,000 neighbors in central and eastern North Carolina, it means fear of empty plates.

One in seven people across our region are unsure where their next meal will come from. Seniors are stretching meager incomes. Parents are making impossible choices. Children are waiting at the table, hungry.

You can change that story and give a gift.

A gift of $25 can provide 125 nourishing plates filled with food and relief for our neighbors.

Your generosity ensures families don’t spend the holidays hungry. Instead, they’ll gather, share a meal, and experience the joy every person deserves this season.

Thanksgiving can still be a day of gratitude and abundance — but only if we act together.

Please, make your holiday gift today here.
