Last week, in the driving rain our Round Up partners PORCH Chapel Hill Carrboro and PORCH Hillsborough delivered 240 boxes of fresh produce to families struggling with food insecurity—190 families in Chapel Hill and Carrboro and 50 families in Hillsborough. Over 1,000 individuals have nutritious fresh fruit and vegetables because of your Round up donations at the Southern Village, Carrboro, and Hillsborough stores.
PORCH Directors Debbie Horwitz and Lizzie Dicker, shared with us that PORCH volunteers were able to pack and distribute this food following strict social distancing guidelines to ensure the safety of our volunteers and
clients.
