North Carolina is home to a bountiful foodshed with a wide variety of produce available throughout the year.
But we need YOUR help to make sure that this locally grown goodness reaches eaters of ALL income levels.
As you know, the cost of living continues to increase, many food access programs and grants have ended, and hunger remains at an all-time high.
With your support, Farmer Foodshare can help more family farmers and reach more local families with nutritious, locally-grown fruits and vegetables.
Thanks to donors like you, in the past two years alone, we contributed 1.8 million lbs. of fresh, delicious produce to the emergency food system, including 50,000 hunger relief boxes, amounting to 1.5 million locally-sourced, nutrient-dense meals reaching the plates of individuals experiencing food insecurity here in the Triangle.
With YOUR support, we can continue connecting food insecure families and individuals to vibrant, healthy food grown by North Carolina family farmers AND help those small, local farmers grow their businesses.
Will you make a donation to support farmers and fight hunger today?
