How PORCH Fearrington Works
PORCH is built around the very simple idea of a neighborhood food drive. Here’s how it works, in three easy steps:
- Once a month, on a designated day, residents place a food donation on their front porch before 10:00am. In some neighborhoods, coordinators ask donors to take food donations to their coordinator’s front porch.
- In neighborhoods where coordinators ask neighbors to place donations on their own porches, the coordinator goes to the donors’ porch and picks up the food donations.
- The donated food is picked up by volunteers and the CORA truck at the neighborhood coordinators’ porch and transported to the CORA Food Pantry located in Pittsboro and serving all of Chatham County.
The three-step process is easy, fast, and it’s also safe.

Food items especially desired by CORA for July. Not much has changed since June.
- pasta
- maseca
- canned fruit in juice
- soup
- cereal
While plastic bags are OK for the donations, it is a lot easier for our collecting and transferring the food when we arrive at CORA if you use PAPER bags (which are a renewable resource), rather than plastic bags. The contents often fall out of plastic bags, making the handling of large volumes of food more difficult. If plastic bags are easier for you, feel free to use them for your donations. CORA likes to have a supply of plastic bags on hand for people who come for the donated food, so please do donate those empty plastic bags you do not need.

Ways to Help
Donate food items each month when we will pick up food from our neighborhood coordinators. NOTE that coordinators may select an earlier date/time each month to collect or receive donations from their neighbors.
If you are a new donor and do not know who your neighborhood coordinator is, check the ABOUT page where you will find the list of coordinators in our 22 neighborhoods. Each coordinator’s name is hot-linked to their email address. Send them a note and you will be added to their contact list so they can stay in touch with you each month.
If you prefer to send a check, please make it payable to CORA and send it to:
CORA
PO BOx 1326
Pittsboro, NC 27312
(If you note “Fearrington PORCH” in the memo space on your check, they will know it came from us.)
