Who We Serve
We serve a network of 950+ partner agencies in 24 counties.
Our Food Bank is a complex storage and distribution system. It allows a river of food to flow efficiently through loading docks, onto trucks, and out into communities.
Our warehouses provide safe storage while the food finds its way to over 950 partner agencies that include soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, and other feeding programs around our 24 county service region - 14 counties in North Carolina and 10 counties in South Carolina.
Because we know what food they need and when they need it, we are able to marshal our resources to provide it in the most cost-effective way possible to the people who need it most. Our food sourcing experts take advantage of economies of scale, bulk-purchasing power, and relationships with retailers, food producers, and packagers who donate surplus, close-dated, and mispackaged but perfectly good food.
Where Our Food Comes From
75% of the food we distribute is donated
6% of the food we distribute is purchased
19% of the food we distribute comes from government commodities
