CORA is very fortunate to collaborate with 19 neighborhoods in the county through PORCH Chatham. Over the past year, PORCH has filled our shelves with more than 89,000 pounds of food, from cereal, canned fruit, and peanut butter, to pasta, beans, and toiletries. In addition, since the COVID-19 outbreak, many PORCH programs changed their collections from food donations to cash donations to ensure the safety of their contributors. More than $75,000 was donated to CORA! It is truly remarkable how communities that come together once a month can have such an enormous impact on our neighbors in need. Thank you, PORCH Chatham, for your amazing generosity! If you would like information on how to start a PORCH program for CORA, please contact Rebecca Hankins at Rebecca@corafoodpantry.org.
