How It Works
PORCH is built around the very simple idea of a neighborhood food drive. PORCH Briar Chapel collects food monthly for the Chatham Outreach Alliance (CORA) in Pittsboro.
Here’s how it works:
- On pickup day (3rd Friday each month), place a food donation on your porch by 9:00 am.
- A neighbor will come by to pick it up.
- Our PORCH drivers will drive the donations to CORA for you! It’s that easy!
