It's #HungerActionMonth and that means we are moving into the holiday season. Please consider holding a fund or food drive at your company, social group, college, or neighborhood to help us meet the needs of our neighbors struggling with food insecurity. Are you ready to help us feed those in need in our 24 county service region? When you host a fund or food drive, you are helping us get much needed food and supplies to the other 950 partner agencies that we serve. That includes agencies that are soup kitchens like Urban Ministry Center, Charlotte, emergency pantries like Nourish Up, homeless shelters like Uptown Men’s Shelter and CENTER OF HOPE, senior programs, and low-income daycares. For more information on hosting a drive, please visit this link https://lnkd.in/ddhGWVg. #endhunger #FoodBankForTheRegion#foodbank #feedingchildren #feedingfamilies#feedingseniors #feedingveterans#feedingpets

Yesterday afternoon, our Agency Services team was invited to attend the Charlotte Knights game in Uptown Charlotte at #TruistField. Our community partners at Truist, with special thanks to Food Bank Board Member Rob Garofalo, made it possible for 14 of our #shmetrolina staff to spend the evening with their family members in the #Truist suite at the ballpark. As you can see, they had a wonderful evening. Thank you, Truist and Rob! 👏

We had such a great time today with Cole Custer at one of our Surprise Inside events! Today we were at Hickory Soup Kitchen. Our day included a morning surprising a Boys and Girl Club with breakfast and backpacks with school supplies; the visit a local seniors day program with fresh veggie boxes and bags of yummy fruit + grocery gift cards; then headed to a soup kitchen to feed 176 individuals and provided food boxes and fruit to those that are housed, provided bikes to those that are part of a work program but do not have cars, and gave backpacks with things like batteries, personal care items, ponchos, etc to those that were homeless. It was a great day. #surpriseinside #shmetrolina #endhunger #changinglives #ColeCuster #hickorysoupkitchen
