Feed the Need benefits the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Established in 1980, the Food Bank is a non-profit organization that provides food to the 450,000 people at risk of hunger in 34 counties in central and eastern North Carolina.

A third of those served by the Food Bank’s network are children, and another 18% are elderly. Thirty-eight percent of the families served are the “working poor” – people who work hard and still have to choose between eating and other basic necessities such as medicine and housing.
