We wanted to take a pause and share what our hardworking friends at CORA (the group behind Chatham County's food pantry) have been up to. They believe every child deserves to eat well, andno child should ever feel ashamed for needing help.CORApacks was built around that belief. Once a month, a box of nutritious food is delivered directly to a family’s home, with enough food for every day school is not in session. Weekends, holiday breaks, digital learning days.One box per child, delivered with care, so families are never left to wonder how they will fill the gap. There is no line to stand in, no moment of visibility that can sting. Just food,brought to the door with dignity.To help support CORA, you can make a donationhere.
And while you may or may not be a basketball fan, you can still participate in March Madness.Chatham County businesses are going head to head to see who can collect the most children's books for Chatham Reads.Please drop off your gently used books at McIntyre's to help us move to the next round!
