• Thank you to Weaver Street Market shoppers for rounding up for PORCH! Your nickels, dimes, quarters, and pennies will go a long way to provide fresh, healthy food to families with children in our community. You’ve raised more than $19,000 since Nov. 1 – and you can round up for PORCH through Jan. 31! Proceeds from the Carrboro and Southern Village stores benefit PORCH Chapel Hill-Carrboro and proceeds from the Hillsborough store benefit PORCH Hillsborough. In the five years since Round Up began, it has provided $2 million to 12 community partners. 

• Spreading holiday cheer! The PORCH Club at East Chapel Hill High made holiday cards to place in our Food for Families bags this month.
