Friend, World Hunger Day is nearly over and we have not yet reached our Raise-A-Day Campaign goal of $27,000. If you haven’t made a Raise-A-Day gift, please take a moment to help your neighbors and show the power of community!

Your gift of any amount is another step toward the goal, and every $1 becomes 3 healthy, nutritious meals. I hope to hear from you before midnight!

Dear Friend,

Will you help us raise $27,000 — the Food Bank’s cost for one day of food purchases — by midnight in honor of World Hunger Day?

Many caring people have already sent gifts toward the goal, and if you’re one of them, thank you! But if not, I urge you to take action now. Raising $27,000 by midnight will help thousands of our neighbors and also be a powerful reminder of the strength we have together.

Our community is facing many challenges right now. In addition to the historic issues of inequity, our neighbors are trying to budget for rising costs of rent and utilities. At the same time, changes in Medicaid and SNAP are adding stress.

It could not be any clearer that local action is the way forward to meet immediate needs and build long-term solutions. Please join with other caring North Carolinians like you in a final push to meet the goal by midnight!
