FeedNC STIR Monthly Giving Club
To stir….the action of mixing thoroughly! At FeedNC, we use connections to food as a catalyst for change. These connections are “recipes” that help fill a stomach, nourish soul, and build a better community. Your generous monthly gift ensures sustainable support that provides much needed food to the 1,025 registered pantry individuals, children and families who look to FeedNC for support.
Your gift provides:
Weekly supplemental groceries to neighbors in need.
Food delivery to housebound community members.
Daily breakfast and hot lunch to any who need.
Support for a Culinary Student seeking employment in the food service field.
We got food stamps, but it just wasn’t enough. It came down to deciding between paying for food or our monthly bills. We were almost at the point of eating dog food. FeedNC has truly been a blessing. Not only are we able to get food, but it’s good and healthy! I am a diabetic and have high cholesterol, so I am so grateful to be able to get whole grain bread, fresh fruits, and veggies every week from the FeedNC pantry. It’s important to me and important for my health.

I was referred to the FeedNC Culinary Training program when I was unemployed. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do, and I just felt kind of lost. After the very first day in the kitchen, I realized how much I loved it and I thought, maybe I can do this.” Te first day we learned knife skills, I was cutting potatoes and Chef came over and said, “Wow, that looks great. Can I take a picture?” I felt so giddy and proud of myself. This program offers so much. I am so excited to get back into the workforce and start my first culinary job next week! I am looking forward to the future and becoming independent.
