Welcome
Upcoming Events and Food Drives:
We have received another pledge to match donated funds this summer. Please consider a donation soon, which can result in a double bonus for our food pantry!
Please continue your food donations. We are always in need of cereal, rice, tuna, canned fruit and vegetables, and peanut butter.
A special thanks to those who have been bringing fresh produce. Our clients are especially grateful for these extras.
Club Worx will be conducting another food drive this summer. Our thanks to them for their continued support.
Statement of Purpose:
Families handicapped by hunger are more likely to fail in their pursuit of life’s dreams. The Fuquay Varina Emergency Food Pantry is a faith-based organization whose mission is to remove that handicap for as many families as possible within the three county area it has served since 2001.
Support:
Financial support for the Food Pantry operations derives from individual contributions; grants from towns, foundations and church denominations; and contributions from churches, businesses and civic clubs. Food is received from the NC Food Bank (approximately 30% of the total inventory), plus from numerous food drives by the area schools, civic organizations, churches and private businesses. Inventory is also purchased at steep discounts from local supermarkets. These same supermarkets contribute their day-old bread and sweets, more than enough to meet the entire requirement. Excess is transported to local retirement homes weekly.
Background:
Located on West Academy Street in Fuquay, the Food Pantry provides service to citizens living in Fuquay Varina, Holly Springs, Willow Springs and Apex residents in Wake County. Officially The Fuquay Varina Emergency Food Pantry, we have also been referred to as the Fuquay Varina Food Bank, Fuquay Varina Food Pantry, FV Food Pantry or simply FVEFP. Whatever the title, we are made up of local volunteers who strive to give back through our service and our continued operations depend on the ongoing generosity and charity of our community, which have never been in short supply.
