Food Bank

Poverty Rescue Mission is also looking to operate a food bank serving Wake County, North Carolina. The program's focus is to identify and utilize resources for food in the county in order to eliminate hunger among low-income individuals and families in the area. The program performs the following: Solicits and distributes food to community
programs. The program operates a youth farm program for "at-risk" young
people.  

Low-income people, mostly families, who need emergency help to put food on the table will be helped by this new program. Nearly half of the people we serve are children and nearly one-fifth are senior citizens. In the families
we serve, there is at least one working person. Poverty Rescue Mission
wants to start collecting food at its centralized facility in the city of
Raleigh and distribute it ourselves. The majority of the food we will distribute will be in the form of emergency boxes. Individuals or families can receive up to 15 boxes a year. Each box contains a 3-5 day supply of high-quality food. The remaining resources are dedicated to providing food to residential treatment facilities, dinner programs, youth service centers, foster homes, children's program and more.
