This is a major operation that makes good use of volunteer time for a tremendous cause. We felt like we were in the back end of a major regional food distribution hub, and we were. The volunteer program is very well run. We will be back.

It's great to be able to volunteer for an organization like the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. They supply so many meals and support for kids and families that are food-insecure.

Good and supplies are donated by grocery stores, farmers, and other sources. The Food Bank sorts and repackages the incoming goods and prepared packages and boxes to be given to soup kitchens and schools through eastern North Carolina.

The Food Bank had many different volunteer opportunities. I have volunteered several times and enjoyed every minute. One of the most enjoyable operations I've done is during damaged goods. These are usually slightly items that people won't buy at a store but are still perfectly good. Items are sorted by type, (water, other drinks, dry goods, canned goods, etc.). It's a lot of fun to participate in the repackaging, knowing what works normally be wasted food will go to someone who needs it

The last time I was at the Food Bank, we prepared emergency relief boxes to areas effected by Hurricane Dorian. In three hours we were able to box 25833 meals. Inedible!

I'm looking forward to being able to volunteer again at the Food Bank.

What a clean and well organised facility! Staff are so helpful and our dropoff couldn't have been easier. I had no idea they'd supply the weight of our donations immediately, which definitely gives you something to brag about. This is a great organization and I love their transparency. Thank you for making sure no one goes hungry

Awesome opportunity to volunteer and help people in need of food for Eastern North Carolina.

The staff is super nice!

Highly recommend contacting the Food Bank for any community service projects you or your organization is looking to conduct.

$1 = 5 MEALS!!!!
