Topic: Vance County Food Giveaway!

Community agencies and the faith-­based community have joined forces to help feed Vance County! On Thursday, May 12, 2016 the NC Central/Eastern Food Bank will be distributing bags of food to community members who are in need of food at the Vance County Regional Farmers Market. The distribution will begin at 10 A.M. with student volunteers from Vance Charter and Southern Vance High School. Citizens will receive disbursements using a drive through method, as bags will be bought to individual cars when citizens arrive at the site.  This project is being sponsored locally by St. James Missionary Baptist Church, Vance County Department of Social Services, Vance County Cooperative Extension Center, and the Vance County USDA and Soil and Water Conservation.
