The Food Bank of The Sanctuary Project

 The Sanctuary Project runs an active food bank supplying Veterans, Seniors and Others in Duplin County.  Thanks to the generosity of Food Lion, Wal-Mart, Piggly-Wiggly and others we expect to increase in service to continue in the future. "2nd Harvest" in Fayetteville is the local agent of the nationwide foundation called "Feeding America". They are the strongest helpers of the needy in our area and we are honored to work in collaboration with them.

The Food Bank distributes over 2,500 lbs of food per week to disadvantaged persons in Duplin County. All funds and labor are donated. As yet, there have been no subsidies of any kind from State or Local agencies. Nevertheless such funds are sorely needed to continue and expand the service. 

Veterans and other residents of Duplin County receive food Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 11:00 and 13:00 hours
