Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC
Navtej Kohli has been gracious enough to sponsor a post about my favorite charity. In fact, he’s sponsored several across my different blogs, and I’ll be highlighting a different charity for each sponsorship.
I spoke on another blog about an agency that helps distribute food to the eastern portion of our state, and on this blog, I’ll talk about one that serves the western part. Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC is a major distributor of donated food, helping to feed the hungry in 18 North Carolina counties. They have been given a rating of four stars by Charity Navigator. Over 95 percent of donations to the food bank are used to service the people who come to them for help. That means that less than 5 percent is spent on salaries and overhead. The food bank raises donations in several ways. In August, they are having a golf tournament, and they collect canned goods at local free concerts.
There is no need for people to be hungry in this state, or in this country. The food is there, we just need to get it to the people who need it. Second Harvest makes that happen. I want to thank Navtej for the opportunity to talk about an organization that’s making a difference for people in my state.
