Food Bank / Food Drive

The women of WWC help to support families and people with food insecurity by organizing regular food drives during the club year.  We collect donations which are then taken to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.  The Food Bank is one of our three annually supported charities, and we collect donations through the year.

We ask that donations are non-perishable and unexpired.  Glass containers are not accepted.  The food bank has revised their list of most needed items to address the needs of the Latin community.   See your email or the newsletter for drop-off information and details.
