Working Together to Fight Hunger

Cape Fear REALTORS® and Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard work together this holiday season to help feed Wilmington families in need. December 6, 2019, is FeedILM 2019, a day that brings attention to how REALTORS® can help combat local hunger, malnutrition, and food insecurity.

About Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard
 
Mother
Hubbard’s Cupboard serves those who are hungry in the Wilmington area through the distribution of emergency food. This service is provided by volunteers in partnership with the community, without regard to race or religion and with care to preserve the dignity of the individuals being served.

3 ways you can help:

1. Give non-perishable items, listed below.  - One meal equals a little over one pound of food (19 oz)
   Drop items off at the Cape Fear REALTORS® office.

   • * Healthy Soup
     * Cereal
     * Fruit
     * Canned Meat
     * Dried Beans

     * Macaroni and Cheese
     * Personal Hygiene Items (shampoo, soap, tampons, razors, etc.) 
     
     
2. Donate your time and volunteer   - One volunteer hour equates to roughly 15 meals provided.
   On December 6th you can donate your time at Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm.   Click here to volunteer
