North Carolina offers several food banks and free pantries that assist during these trying times. Many food banks also partner with churches, soup kitchens and shelters throughout the state. Food Banks are also a great place to learn about resources and services while getting advice on government programs and local charities. There are even organizations in the state that can help with free diapers and baby supplies.
Many of the organizations that provide assistance require a call in advance for same-day pick and/or referrals from a local church. Of course, you can also call to find out how you can donate food or time to help those in need.
