Food
Bank of the Albemarle serves a 15 county, 22,000 square mile area, in Northeastern
North Carolina. Over 100 non-profit member agencies include food
pantries, soup kitchens, day care centers, juvenile and senior citizen
residential programs, and shelters. These agencies either pick up
food from our warehouse in Elizabeth City, NC or it is delivered to them
for distribution to the hungry men, women, and children in their communities.
The Food Bank is fortunate in that we have recently moved to a 20,000 square foot warehouse located at 109 Tidewater Way. We had previously occupied a 5,000 square foot rented property. This new facility allows us to operate much more efficiently than in the past, and also provides us storage space for accessing the hundreds of thousands of pounds of food that we previously had to turn down.
