Story

Goal:

We’ve partnered with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC (FoodBankCENC) to raise $5000 to provide 25,000 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.

About the FoodBankCENC:

The FoodBankCENC is a 40-year old non-profit organization that operates in 34 counties in North Carolina. They distribute food through a network of over 700 partner agencies. Their efforts ensure that every dollar donated can provide five meals – which is achieved through partnerships, bulk purchasing, and incredible volunteers.

In the wake of recent natural disasters like Hurricane Helene, the FoodBankCENC has taken action to provide emergency food and supplies to affected communities.  Their work in these moments is crucial, offering stability and substance to families rebuilding their lives.

Progress and Transparency:

We believe in full transparency. The FoodBankCENC has a four star charity rating on Charity Navigator and has also earned a platinum seal of transparency. Regular updates will be shared on our campaign page so you can see exactly how your generosity is making an impact.
