Goal:

We’ve partnered with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC (FoodBankCENC) to raise $3500 to provide 17,500 meals to food-insecure families that have been impacted by Hurricane Helene.

How You Can Help:

Here’s the magic: Every $1 provides 5 meals. This means your $10 provides 50 meals, and a $50 donation provides 250 meals!

No amount is too small, every contribution matters and helps put food on the table for those who have been affected.

Who Are We, And Why We Care:

We are a passionate group of BU students inspired to make a difference in our community. Watching the devastating impact of rising food costs in and the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, we decided to step up and help the FoodBankCENC, whose work is a lifeline for countless families.

Some of us have personally experienced similar events, witnessing the struggles of our communities and loved ones as they rebuild their lives after a life changing event. For us, “give $1, feed 5” is more than a slogan—it’s a commitment to give every child a meal, every senior some comfort, and every family some hope.

Whether it's kids needing lunches, working parents running out of groceries and struggling to keep food on the table, or seniors going to bed hungry—you can be the reason someone doesn’t go without a meal today. Your support ensures that they are not alone.

We keep thinking “it could’ve been you” and want to help the community of North Carolina.
