Nearly 20,000 individuals in Chatham County face food insecurity, meaning they lack regular access to the nutritious food they need. So far this year, CORA has experienced a 59% increase in Pantry participation, and we expect that this number will continue to grow in November and December.

CORA needs help to make the holiday season bright for families in need and is asking for the public’s assistance in making sure that no neighbor goes without food. Businesses, schools, faith-based organizations, and other community groups are encouraged to organize holiday food drives through the end of 2019. Click here for more information.
