The Food Drive Kids install Little Food Pantries

Thanks to the work of our Founder William Winslow during his Eagle Scout project, the Food Drive Kids have installed their first 2 Little Food Pantries. These first 2 pantries will provide food and toiletries to people in need. We realized that there is still a gap when kids can’t get food, and that is during long breaks from school. We also are seeing a need for things like basic toiletries that arent given through schools or covered by SNAP benefits. Because of this gap, The Food Drive Kids are now adding Little Food Pantries to their work. People have the opportunity to come and take food from these pantries at any time. The hope is that the neighborhoods surrounding these pantries will contribute to them as well to create sustainable Little Food Pantries. Our first 2 pantries can be found at:

  • Western Boulevard Presbyterian Church; 4900 Kaplan Drive, Raleigh, NC 27606
  • Avent Ferry United Methodist Church; 2700 Avent Ferry Rd., Raleigh, NC 27606

More pantries have since been installed, they are located at:

  • The Well Fed Community Garden; 1321 Athens Dr, Raleigh, NC 27606
  • Pullen Memorial Baptist Church; 1801 Hillsborough St, Raleigh, NC 27605
  • Holy Trinity Lutheran Church; 2723 Clark Ave., Raleigh, NC 27607

    We have a neighborhood Corner Pantry at the corner of Glascock and Watauga Streets, if anyone downtown would like to contribute or is in need.
