Setting out to fight hunger

Providing Food for Families, Pantries, and Schools

PORCH is a small, grassroots hunger relief organization with a big impact! Every month, our neighborhood coordinators collect food and cash donations, and then our volunteers sort and distribute bags of fresh and non-perishable food to local families, pantries and schools.

Fighting Hunger

The problem of hunger is real!  Across the country, 1 in 7 families is struggling to put food on the table.  Last year, PORCH provided 250,000 lbs of fresh food directly to 485 families and 6489 bags of nonperishable food to pantries and families in Chapel Hill-Carrboro.
