Donations and Presentations

 

The Food Bank of the Albemarle is the frequent recipient of donations of both money and products that are used to feed the hungry men, women and children of northeast North Carolina.  These donations come to us from many places, among them individuals, businesses and from civic organizations.  Whether they come to us as a result of food drive, a personal act of kindness, or some other generous act, EVERY DONATION is precious to us and those we serve through our member agencies in 15 counties.
