About PORCH Communities
PORCH Communities fights food insecurity by creating sustainable hunger relief programs at the local level. Started in 2010 in Chapel Hill, NC, PORCH has grown into a repeatable model of monthly neighborhood food drives to supply local food pantries, schools, and community programs across the country. PORCH’s volunteer network, now in 550 neighborhoods across 10 states, has contributed more than $12 million dollars in hunger relief.
PORCH Chatham
In Chatham County, PORCH neighborhoods coordinate regular, often monthly, neighborhood food drives to support CORA.
PORCH is such an important part of making CORA’s work happen! About half of the food we distribute in our pantries is donated. CORA typically receives at least 8,000 lbs. of food each month from the PORCH program. Many neighborhoods also collect monetary donations for those who prefer to give that way.
The impact of communities coming together once a month is truly remarkable. PORCH Chatham’s generosity has made a significant difference in the lives of individuals and families facing hunger across Chatham. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated PORCH Chatham volunteers for their ongoing support.
If you would like to start a PORCH program for CORA in your neighborhood, please contact Rebecca Hankins at [email protected].
