At the Triangle Community Foundation's Annual Holiday Party, guests were each given an envelope with $10. Along with the $10, guests received a challenge to match the money with a personal donation to a charitable organization or a person in the area. Angel Wright-Feldman, Ja'Nell Henry and Haley Rader from the City of Raleigh received envelopes at the party, pulled in additional funds from friends and co-workers and expanded their donation to $100! They chose to drop off a donation to the Food Shuttle, and even stayed for a tour! Thanks to Angel, Haley, and Ja'Nell for supporting the Food Shuttle's fight against hunger.

Blog, Child Hunger
Because of you, more children will start the school day ready to learn, without the pang of hunger as a distraction. Our Back-to-School campaign reminds us that along with pencils and paper, children need a daily supply of food to take on new concepts, run on playgrounds, and socialize more successfully.
Our Community Health and Agriculture Education teams have collaborated to develop the new Food Shuttle Academy, an online learning platform with free, self-paced lessons on health, nutrition, agriculture, and more!
Our Spring Match challenge, made possible by generous funders, including SOLV Energy and the Mead Family Foundation, exceeded the $105,000 goal, raising an additional $70,000 to erase hunger!
