Our outreach opportunities with Leesville Elementary School Backpack Program and Windsor Spring Groceries for Senior have been suspended for the time being. Yet we have the desire to help others who are food insecure. As schools have been closed and people have lost their jobs, the need grows daily. After studying the websites of organizations in Raleigh who lead food distribution efforts, financial donations are the most effective way to help right now. If we donate money, it can be used to buy food in bulk stretching the spending power of each donation. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS) has provided a way we can donate from the safety of our homes.
We now have a “COTN Virtual Food Drive” page on the IFFS website where you can shop and pay for food and IFFS will do the actual purchasing and handling of the commodities. You may visit our drive using the above link and click on the tab “Donate”. If you prefer to mail a check, you may make the check out to Inter-Faith Food Shuttle and mail it to:
