Volunteer your time. Change a neighbor's week.
Our volunteers are extremely important to our ability to serve hundreds of Bertie County families. In 2024, they dedicated over 15,500 hours in the fight against communal hunger.
We're always in search of individuals to help unload trucks, prepare food boxes, distribute directly to arriving families, and organize our events and food drives. If you're a friendly spirit and ready to serve, we'd love to have you.
If at any moment those who volunteer with us find themselves in need of food for their families, we do not hesitate to help.
Can't volunteer? You can still help.
Every $1 donation provides approximately 4 meals to a neighbor in need.
