The CAHEC Foundation improves the quality of life for youth and young adults through wellness and education. So far this year, we have distributed $192,000 to support our mission of offering life-changing opportunities to the residents in CAHEC's footprint. Here's an overview of the grants and initiatives we've proudly supported:
CAHEC Foundation Sponsors Food Distribution
In partnership with the Interfaith Food Shuttle, the CAHEC Foundation sponsored a Mobile Food Market that served 276 households in Nash County last month. Families were able to drive through in their cars to receive a bag of fresh produce, meat, breads, and a box of non-perishable items. The first 150 families that came through the line also received a hot meal, catered by the Spinning Plate Food Truck.

While the food distribution did not start until 10:00 that morning, cars began lining up at 8:30 to receive food items. By noon, nearly 17,000 pounds of food had been given away to residents in need. What an incredible community effort!
We'd like to give a special thank you to our friends at United Bank, Truist, Beal Street Square, and Partnership Property Management for helping make this event such a huge success. We couldn't have done this without your support!

We would also like to thank the volunteer efforts of the Interfaith Food Shuttle, the REACH Center, and Ripple Effects. Your passion for making events like this possible throughout the year goes a long way in supporting residents and communities throughout North Carolina.
