Thousands of people in our communities will be facing a bleak holiday season - families who find themselves without jobs, without food, without homes.  But you can return hope into the lives of so many this year.
Make a gift to the Holiday Meals Campaign through the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC to help ensure that children, parents and grandparents have enough food for this holiday season.
