Agency’s Mission Statement

The mission of the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina is to harness and supply resources so that nobody goes hungry in central and eastern NC.

Agency’s Goals and Programs offered to Clients/People Served

The Food Bank’s goals and methods to achieve them are as follows:

• Efficiently distribute high quality foods and non-food essentials to nonprofit agencies that serve the hungry
• Strengthen the agencies directly responsible for distributing food and non-food items
• Extend Food Bank services to under-served communities within our service area
• Advocate ways to eliminate hunger
• Grow our financial resources in order to achieve our mission

Agency’s Impact on the Community

Since the Food Bank was opened in 1980, it has provided food to non-profit community organizations all over the state. When hurricane Floyd struck NC in 1999, the Food Bank assisted with distributing food to people who were in need due to the destruction caused by the hurricane. Currently, the Food Bank provides about 2.7 million pounds of food per month to organizations such as soup kitchens, food pantries, and homeless shelters.
