Very disappointed went there today gave me and my family no meats no drinks two little very small boxes !!!! not much of nothing all them can goods drinks,snacks they have but don’t even give none of that to you Raleigh food banks are very disappointed …it’s very sad and heart breaking they rather for the food to sit there and get on or throw it away instead of giving to the people in need ….. A lot of food banks will post on Facebook for shows but in reality they not support at … I’m a very thankful and grateful person but what happened to me was so wrong it’s sad 😢

Such important work! Wonderful garden and indoor opportunities to serve, at least as young as 6th gradeand maybe younger. Our kids learned so much about pollinators and harvesting gruit and veggies!
