How to self-schedule your next volunteer session
We are very excited to have a new online self-scheduling system that makes it more efficient to see available volunteer sessions, reserve a spot, and send an invite link to group members!

Building Community — Meeting the Need
Our local network of Partner Agency food pantries in Jones County are still closed due to damage form Florence. So for the first time in FBCENC’s nearly 40-year history, we are operating our own pantry.
The common thread
President/CEO Peter Werbicki: Every year, we take this opportunity to thank you. But as I am sure you well know, this year has been harder.

Every day is different. I have enjoyed all my shifts at the Food Bank CENC, but I have really enjoyed the relationships that I have formed with the other volunteers and employees.

Your Food Bank After Florence
It’s been several months since Hurricane Florence hit, and then lingered over North Carolina, impacting almost all the Food Bank’s 34-county service area. We knew immediately that recovery and rebuilding would take along time, and the Food Bank committed ourselves to supporting our friends and neighbors for the long haul.
Together, We’re In It For The Long Haul
President/CEO Peter Werbicki: It’s important to continue to remember the children, seniors, and families who were hit hardest by the storm. Many have lost everything. For those who were already struggling to provide for their family’s basic needs, the flooding is even more catastrophic. And unfortunately, many these folks have a long recovery still ahead.
Distributing Food to Seniors Provides Enlightening Experience
“It’s hard to believe that people could survive on so little,” Chris said after looking at the qualifications for the CSFP Program. “Unfortunately, it is all too real.” Nearly 50,000 seniors in our 34-county service area live at or below the poverty level.
Responding To Crisis Following Hurricane Florence
Adelphia CDC Inc. is just one of the organizations that was able to rise to the occasion and help the many people impacted by the recent disasters.
