The Hunger and Health Coalition of Watauga County needs
a midsize van or sports-utility vehicle for daily food pick ups.
“The current vehicle is having mechanical problems, which
can limit the amount of food that can be picked up from local
grocery stores and businesses,” executive director Compton
Fortuna said.
The coalition picks up food donations from grocery stores, restaurants
and businesses every day.
“These donations enable the organization to feed more than
1,000 people per month, providing fresh produce and nutritious
meals” Fortuna said.
She added that, given the current economic climate, the number
of people in need is rising every day.
“The Hunger and Health Coalition must be able to bring in
the food that will address the needs of the hungry in our community,”
she said.
Any donation, including vehicle donations, made to the Hunger
and Health Coalition is tax deductible.
