Here’s who gets help
TABLE gets nutritious food to children from low-income families living in Chapel Hill and Carrboro, NC. Local elementary schools and afterschool programs help TABLE reach the children who most need help.
Here’s how it works
Through TABLE’s 4 hunger relief programs, local children receive healthy, fresh and non-perishable foods like fruit, vegetables, granola bars, canned meat, juice boxes, and milk to take home. Student and community volunteers gather and distribute the food and host events to raise funds for TABLE programs.
Here’s what TABLE is doing
TABLE is distributing more than 5,000 pounds of food per month to over 135 children in and around the neighborhoods of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, North Carolina. Currently, about 25% of local elementary schoolers receive free or reduced cost school breakfasts and lunches through the National School Lunch Program. These youngsters are at risk for hunger during weekends and time of the year when these school meals are unavailable. TABLE’s hunger relief programs help local kids get through such times by providing them with nutritious food to bring home.
