“Yes You Can” Food Drive for TABLE

Did you know that 1 in 4 Chapel Hill / Carrboro elementary school children (over 950 kids) are hungry or at risk of being hungry right on weekends and holidays when free school breakfast and lunch are not available?
TABLE is a local non-profit, organization that places food directly into the hands of those children by putting easy-to-eat, healthy food into weekend backpacks for them.

The following foods are being collected:
Canned tuna and chicken | Peanut Butter and Jelly Jars
Canned Carrots, Corn, and Green Beans & Fruit Cups | Crackers (Regular, Graham, Animal, Cheese)
Non-Refrigerated Chocolate Milk Boxes (available at Sam’s and Costco) / Juice Boxes

Drop your food off on or before May 13th at
Keller Williams, 1516 East Franklin Street, Chapel Hill
or at TABLE, 205 West Weaver Street, Carrboro

You know that food is near and dear to my heart. And it’s distressing to me to know that children in my own neighborhood are going without food. Please join me in this effort!

Thanks for your help!
