PORCH Wilmington is an all-volunteer, grassroots hunger relief organization. We collect food and cash donations through monthly neighborhood food drives and deliver the contributions to food pantries who provide emergency food to individuals and families in our area.
Our partner food pantries at this time include NourishNC. The PORCH collection model simplifies the donation process as it brings the food drive to your neighborhood. We are currently holding food drives on the 2nd Tuesday of the month.

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, drop off your food donations 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.
Get Involved
Volunteer
Coordinate and/or host a monthly food drive in your neighborhood! Email neighbors and post on your neighborhood social media about the collection and items needed by the partner pantry. Then, take the donated items to your designated food pantry.
