You’re Invited!
On Thursday, October 6, CORA Food Pantry will present the first of what it hopes will be an annual event to raise awareness of our area’s social and economic problems and how they impact individuals and families. CORA also hopes the series will encourage community activism toward helping those affected by adverse circumstances and toward working for permanent solutions. Please come join the staff and volunteers of CORA Food Pantry and our colleagues in other human services organizations to learn more about food issues among the working poor, poverty in North Carolina and the impact of government policy on food security.
