I just couldn’t wait. The statewide drive to collect non-perishable food for the N.C. Association of Feeding America Food Banks doesn’t officially begin until Friday, but I was pleased to be among the first to deliver goods this morning to the collection boxes located here in the Administration Building.
Gov. Perdue has asked all state employees to support their neighbors by participating in this effort, which is part of the National Day of Service to commemorate the 9/11 terror attacks. Collection boxes are located in many offices in the Downtown State Government Complex and will remain in place through 12 noon Monday, Sept. 13.
Donating a bag of groceries may seem like a small thing to do, but together we can make a significant contribution and help put healthy food on the tables of needy North Carolina families.
