ABC11 Together Food Drive
Joel Brown puts the wrapup on our Food Drive, a tremendous success thanks to you!

Today we celebrated 30 years of giving from the heart, and together we helped local families fight hunger. The ABC11 Together Food Drive surpassed its goal of 1 million meals! Thank you so much to all who dropped off food or called us with donations.



The final tally, according to the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina was 1,024,961, more than double our goal of 500,000 meals!
