The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina are hosting a series of Pop‑Up Markets throughout January, offering free fresh produce and pantry staples to anyone in need. There are no residency, income, or ID requirements, and visitors are welcome to choose the items that best support their household. All distributions are first‑come, first‑served while supplies last.
The Food Bank’s mobile operations bring food directly into communities where access to resources is limited. For residents who are unable or uncomfortable attending in person, a trusted friend, neighbor, or family member may pick up a regular box on their behalf.
