About the Cause

The Hunger Run will collect food items for the Wilmington Branch of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. In our area, more than 74,000 people live in food insecure households, almost a third of whom are children. The Food Bank provides food to many partner agencies in the community who provide food to school age children through the elderly. Partner agencies are crucial to getting food to people who truly need it. The mission of the Food Bank is to give nutritious and adequate amounts of food to those who struggle to obtain food.
