Collapse ▲Food Collection Drive Background
The Duplin Coalition for Health is partnering with Duplin Christian Outreach Ministries to host a food collection drive to support our local food pantries. This collection drive will take place during the month of October to coincide with and celebrate World Food Day.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization designated October 16 as World Food Day in 1979. The purpose of the day is to promote global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and to highlight the need to ensure healthy diets for all.
According to our most recent Community Health Needs Assessment, 13% of adults and 20% of children in Duplin County are considered food insecure. Our local food pantries help bridge this gap in need.
Some of the most requested items are:
- Whole grain pasta
- Rice
- Bottled water
- High protein canned items (especially meats)
- Peanut butter
- Canned beans
- Dried beans
- Canned soup or broth
- Canned fruits & vegetables
- Family meal boxes & mac & cheese
