Food Lion is a grocery store that helps to support Feed the Pack. We provide Food Lion with a wish list of items (including condiments, spices, prepackaged meals, international cuisine, canned foods, baking, hygiene products, etc.) and they help to supply us with these much-needed items. Without the support of Food Lion, Feed the Pack would not be able to provide our patrons with the eclectic blend of products that we currently have in the pantry.
A Place at the Table is a pay-what-you-can cafe at 300 W. Hargett St. in downtown Raleigh. They provide community and healthy food for all, regardless of means. A Place at the Table provides Feed the Pack with vouchers, and we give these vouchers to our patrons so that they can use them to receive meals at the cafe.
The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina is a nonprofit organization that provides food and assistance for 34 counties across the region.
