My name is Carly and I am an AmeriCorps Food Distribution Associate serving at Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Thanks to a partnership between the Conservation Trust for North Carolina and the NC Commission on Volunteerism, my position was created in response to the coronavirus pandemic to assist the Food Shuttle with getting food into the hands of individuals and families that need it.
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Wraps Up Summer Meals Program
This summer, for the first time, Inter-Faith Food Shuttle sponsored the national Summer Food Service Program, also known as Summer Meals, to combat these food needs for five weeks during the summer months. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle partnered with 17 different Raleigh Parks and Recreation summer camp sites as a means of getting nutritious meals to children who might otherwise have to go without.
