More than 50% of the food CORA distributes to hungry families is donated! This source of food is VERY IMPORTANT to us! To make sure your food donation does the most good, keep the following guidelines in mind.
CORA accepts donations of shelf-stable foods — canned fruit/vegetables, boxed cereals, rice, pasta, baking mix, and shelf-stable specialty items (drink mix, coffee, tea, pancake mix, condiments, herbs and spices, ethnic foods, other pantry staples, etc.). We also accept paper products – especially bathroom tissue and paper towels – and personal hygiene items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, disposable razors, etc.
These are just a few reminders.
Donate food to CORA by shopping from our Amazon Wishlist! Our wishlist includes some of our most needed items that will help provide healthy, nutritious meals to our neighbors in need.
Once you have filled your cart and checked out, your items will be sent directly to the CORA. All items will be distributed to those in need here in Chatham County.
If you would like to hold a food drive at your place of work, school, neighborhood, church, sports, or social club, please download a food drive flier. If you don’t find what you are looking for, please email Rebecca@corafoodpantry.org.
Just a few reminders.
PORCH began in Chapel Hill and has now spread across the country! PORCH is a volunteer-based, grassroots hunger relief organization. We collect food and cash donations through monthly neighborhood food drives and then distribute food to hundreds of at-risk families in our communities. You can learn more about PORCH Chatham here at www.porchcommunities.org/chatham or by contacting Rebecca Hankins at rebecca@corafoodpantry.org.
We also accept locally grown produce and eggs from individuals, farms and community gardens. If you have never donated fresh food to CORA before, please contact Kristine at Kristine@corafoodpantry.org before bringing in your donation.
