Heart of Carolina Food Drive reaches its goal
DURHAM (WTVD) -- We're proud to announce that the annual ABC11 Heart of Carolina Food Drive reached its goal of collecting over 6.2 million pounds of food for needy families around the Triangle.
The drive collects food and funds to stock the shelves of food banks for the winter months.
The food collected in our drive will help feed more than 650,000 people in our area who are food insecure, including many children who don't have consistent access to food.
It's not too late to donate. Click here to learn how.
Thanks to all of you who contributed and we hope to see you again next year.
