Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina says they need the community’s help now more than ever as families are still waiting for their SNAP benefits to kick back in.
The food bank is holding a food drive Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its Spratt Street Location.

They’re asking people to drop off items, so they can keep packing emergency food boxes for families impacted by the government shutdown and SNAP cuts.
Some of the most-needed items include fish or meat, peanut butter, soups, beans, fruits and vegetables.
“The biggest need we have right now really are folks to help us with funds, donations if they can,” Second Harvest CEO Kay Carter said.
For those unable to drop off donations in person, monetary contributions can be made here.
Their goal is to get out 100,000 emergency boxes by the end of November.
Second Harvest is also hosting special distributions on Sunday in Charlotte and in Rowan County on Monday.
