Are you interested in donating to Cherryville Community Food Bank but arn’t sure what your donation goes towards? See below for the impact you are making on the Cherryville community with every dollar you donate to our food bank:
$10.00 – provides 25 kids at Cherryville Elementary with a milk for the School Milk Program
$50.00 – provides 20 lbs worth of food that is distributed among food bank recipients
$100 – provides sponsorship of one Angel (one child) during our Christmas Hamper and Gifts event
$500 – the cost of 2.5 trips of fully stocked refrigeration truck to surrounding rural community food banks

With your support, we are able to make a huge impact on our community and surrounding areas. There are many different ways that you can support Cherryville Community Food Bank in addition to making monetary donations. We accept food donations that are then distributed among hampers, we are always looking for new volunteers who want to make a difference in the community, and we appreciate personal fundraising efforts. A personal fundraising effort may include making an honorable mention to our food bank so others are aware of our organization and the services we provide or could include making a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser where funds go to the Cherryville Food Bank as one of our seasonal volunteers, Bea Bauer, recently did.
We are beyond grateful for those who have supported us and continue to support us especially during these difficult times as COVID-19 has led many families into extreme financial hardship. Our doors remain open to support our families in crisis, and it is because of you that we can do this.
Thank you for your commitment to the Cherryville Community Food Bank, we appreciate your support.
