Allegacy Center for Leadership and Character to host Valentine’s food drive

A message from the Allegacy Center for Leadership and Character

Did you know that 1 in 6 people in Northwest North Carolina is food insecure? Even more startling, 1 in 5 children lacks the food they need to thrive.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, the Allegacy Center for Leadership and Character is asking for your help to support our neighbors through our “With Love, From the Forest” campaign. Monetary and food donations collected will go a long way in supporting our community members in need.

Donating Non-Perishables: A collection box is located in the Bitove Lounge in the Founders Living Room of Farrell Hall. Suggested items include boxed or canned fruits, vegetables, grains, soups, and proteins. Consider donating items that, when combined, would make a well-rounded meal for one family. These items will be delivered directly to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC.

Or give online! Monetary donations will be sent directly to Second Harvest Food Bank. (Note: It is not necessary to join the team or create an account. You may also choose to have your donation appear as anonymous.)

Let’s work together to put meals on local tables. Thank you in advance for your generosity!
