Dine Out to Help Out
Established in 1995, Dine Out to Help Out was created in response to the Food Bank’s need to continue providing healthy, nutritious food to families facing food insecurity in northeast North Carolina. The event has been incredibly popular with participating restaurants and patrons. Each participating restaurant agrees to donate 10% of the day’s proceeds to the Food Bank of the Albemarle.

Hunger Action Month
September is Hunger Action Month! Hunger exists in every county in the U.S., affecting 48 million Americans including 15 million children. In northeast North Carolina, we have 1 in 6 of our neighbors experience food insecurity. Food Bank of the Albemarle believes that hunger IS solvable and we’re leading the charge to end it and ask everyone to take action to fight hunger in our community, all month long.

North Carolina continues to have one of the highest rates of food insecurity in the nation, especially among our children. For this reason, the Young Lawyers Division of the North Carolina Bar Association, in conjunction with the North Carolina Association of Feeding America Food Banks, host the annual NC Legal Feeding Frenzy in March. Legal professionals from across the state are invited to participate in this fun food drive competition.
