AARP Drive to End Hunger
24 May, 2012
In North Carolina, over 9% of older adults are at risk of hunger, ranking the state 7th in the U.S. for food insecurity among adults 50 and older. AARP and AARP Foundation, in collaboration with the charitable organization Outreach, Inc., are bringing together thousands of volunteers over the course of two days with a goal to package one million nutritious meals through Drive to End Hunger. Be a part of this extraordinary effort to help fight older adult hunger in your community and across North Carolina. The meals packaged will help feed older people in North Carolina through Food Banks like the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Together we can leave hunger in the dust.
