Fighting Food Insecurity in Chatham County

CORApacks

Chatham County has a 14% child food insecurity rate, meaning many kids in our community go to bed hungry. CORA provides food to children on weekends and during school breaks from September through June with CORApacks. Each child receives a monthly food box containing three meals and two snacks daily for when they are not in school delivered directly to their home.

Types of Food

All of CORA’s programs heavily emphasize nutrient-dense and healthy foods. The food boxes include single-serve ready-to-eat items, including canned pasta, cereal cups, instant oatmeal packets, soups, fruit, and applesauce cups. In addition, each box consists of a juice box and 8oz of milk for each day, as well as shelf-stable foods like canned veggies, canned meats, pasta, rice, and canned beans.
