Charlotte Academy of Music is very proud to be joining Second Harvest Food Bank for a November Food Drive which will take place November 7-21. We hope all Academy families will participate! Read on for more details.
SEEKING TO END HUNGER
Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina (SHFBM) strives through education, advocacy, and partnerships to eliminate hunger by the solicitation and distribution of food. They provide a regional distribution warehouse and branches that supply food and grocery items to charitable agencies that assist people in need.
ENDING CHILD HUNGER
Children at risk of hunger in the Metrolina region is not just a myth, it’s a reality. 15.7% of Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina’s service area population lives in poverty, including almost 185,000 children and seniors.
Children at the greatest risk of hunger are those who are in deep, persistent poverty. Second Harvest has several initiatives to help serve these children. Please take a moment to learn about Child Hunger in the Metrolina region and join us in the fight to provide one of their basic needs.
