ABC11 Together's Annual Food Drive: Fighting hunger together

ABC11 Together's Annual Food Drive is an important time that our viewers can join with us to help re-stock the shelves at local food banks.

This year's goal is to provide 1.3 million meals for our neighbors in need by giving to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast NC.

The drive kicked off on November 23 at the Raleigh Christmas Parade. Now through Wednesday you can purchase non-perishable items at your local Food Lion store to donate.

Not sure what to donate? Check out the food bank's most needed items list.

On December 11th you can be a part of all the action, meet our anchors and sponsors, and drop your donations off in person at three Food Lion locations:
