CAP is a transformative program that equips individuals who are unemployed or underemployed with valuable culinary skills and work experience. Over 12 weeks, students participate in 25-30 hours of hands-on training each week in a real commercial kitchen. We are excited to celebrate our most recent graduates!

At Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, our mission is clear: to feed, teach, and grow. We are dedicated to nourishing our community and fostering a future where hunger is no longer a barrier. Through a network of mobile markets and food pantries across central North Carolina, we provide essential food resources and support available to everyone. 

At Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, we believe in more than just feeding our neighbors. We strive to teach self-sufficiency, grow healthy foods, and cultivate innovative approaches to end hunger in our communities. None of this would be possible without the dedication and passion of our incredible volunteers. Today, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every volunteer who has lent a helping hand, a smile, and valuable time to our mission.

As the cost of living continues to soar, families across Wake County are facing heightened struggles to keep food on the table. The recent decision by the Wake County Public School System to increase meal prices by 25 cents may seem like a small amount, but it represents a significant burden for many households already grappling with food insecurity. 

We are pleased to recognize our generous supporters at The Leon Levine Foundation, who recently provided a multi-year gift in support of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Gifts like this are vital in furthering our mission to eliminate hunger and create a healthy and hunger-free community. 

Wake County Public Schools increased all meal prices by 25 cents at a board meeting May 21. As summer approaches, the Food Shuttle calls upon the community to unite in ensuring that no child goes hungry, especially in light of the recent school meal price increase.

Through community collaboration and shared dedication, the SFSP exemplifies the power of collective action in addressing hunger. As summer approaches, let's unite to ensure that no child goes hungry in our community.

The draft Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024 (House Farm Bill) released on Friday by House Agriculture Committee Chair G.T. Thompson (R-PA) would slash future benefit adjustments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by nearly $30 billion over the next decade. These cuts would drastically reduce vital food assistance for millions of Americans, including many in our local community who rely on SNAP to put food on the table.

Every year, Feeding America estimates the annual food budget shortfall carried by people facing food insecurity – the gap between the money people facing hunger need to buy enough food and what they have. The Map the Meal Gap study shows a sharp rise in that budget shortfall in North Carolina, from $725 million in 2019 to over a billion in 2022: that 2022 figure is $1,099,431,000.

In 1989, Jill Staton Bullard and Maxine Solomon, launched their mission to combat hunger in North Carolina. They began rescuing surplus food and distributing it to those in need and Inter-Faith Food Shuttle was born. Decades later, their legacy continues to Grow Goodness as we reach thousands of individuals with vital nourishment every week. We are also tackling the root causes of food insecurity through innovative programs that empower people to build stable and secure lives, and by advocating for policies that eliminate systemic barriers.
