Path to Ending Hunger
Forty years ago this fall, the founders of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina came together to make sure that people in our part of the state would never go hungry. Today, that commitment is stronger than ever. Through this podcast you'll meet our leaders, our staff, our volunteers, who share the same vision: to help people when they need it, and to work to ensure that they don’t.
