September is Hunger Action Month, and making a difference can be as easy as dining local.

All month, these 15+ participating restaurants, bakeries, and breweries will donate a portion of proceeds from every “Plate It Forward” dish ordered.

Think: Buying a drink helps combat NC’s growing hunger crisis.

🥕 $1 = 3 meals

One dollar may not sound like much, but that’s all it takes to provide three meals to the nearly 630,000 children, adults, and seniors across Central and Eastern North Carolina facing food insecurity.

The demand for food assistance in our region is near a record high, even greater than the peak of the pandemic.

It’s a serious crisis, and the Food Bank needs all the support it can get.
