Hunger is a Year-
Round Issue
PORCH Charlotte is an all-volunteer, grassroots hunger relief organization whose mission is to collect and distribute food for all those experiencing food insecurity in the Charlotte community.
How PORCH Works
PORCH is built around the simple idea of a neighborhood food drive. Here’s how it works:
Once a month, on collection day, leave your food donations on your front porch or at the designated front porch (or garage) in your neighborhood.
Volunteer neighborhood coordinators host the collection sites, and then transport the donated food by car to one of our local food pantries.
