One of our Cupboard Ally volunteers recently had a new name on his monthly grocery delivery list: “Diana.” When he stopped by with groceries (and hope!) the tears flowed. Diana, who is disabled and can’t drive to our evening food pantries, was overwhelmed with gratitude for the food.

You can help ensure that neighbors like “Diana” don’t go hungry by participating in Common Heart’s 6th annual Hunger Walk fundraiser. The event will be held on Sunday, March 5 at two locations: Indian Trail & Marshville. Donate or register online: CommonHeartHungerWalk.org

Common Heart’s food pantries are a lifeline for our hungry neighbors. Each month, about 5,500 individuals are served through 10 pantry programs. Due to the pandemic and now inflation, Common Heart food pantries have seen many more families seeking help. In 2022, Common Heart provided 1,472,304 meals to 13,416 people!

This year, you and I have an opportunity to grow this small revolution of kindness and TAKE STEPS TO END LOCAL HUNGER with the Common Heart Hunger Walk! On Sunday, March 5, join us at Crooked Creek Park in Indian Trail OR Marshville Municipal Park in Marshville!
