Second Harvest Food Bank and WXII sponsor food drive in Lexington

Second Harvest Food Banks (SHFB) works year round to provide people in North Carolina with nourishing food and nutritional support. By working with contributions from grocery stores, business partners and donations from the community, SHFB has been a success since 1982. Everyday between 35 and 40 tons of food moves through the SHFB warehouse and into their network of almost 500 partners that work to distribute the food to the following 18 counties:

• Alamance.

• Alexander.

• Alleghany.

• Ashe.

• Caldwell.

• Caswell.

• Davidson.

• Davie.

• Forsyth.

• Guilford.

• Iredell.

• Randolph.

• Rockingham.

• Stokes.

• Surry.

• Watauga.

• Wilkes.

• Yadkin.

SHFB, in addition to supplying actual food, also works to provide education on healthy nutrition, workforce development, the overall alleviating of childhood hunger and obtaining permanent solutions to hunger and poverty. SHFB is a proud member of Feeding America and Feeding the Carolinas. 

During this season of giving, SHFB is joining one of their local media sponsors, WXII of Winston-Salem on Wednesday, December 11th at Food Lion located at 140 Forest Hill Road in Lexington. Their partnership yields additional tons of food for the organization and is one of several in-person food drives hosted by their newscasters.
