Nice News’ November 2024 Cause of the Month

More than a month after Hurricane Helene made landfall, the devastating effects of the natural disaster are still being felt in the American Southeast, with the Carolinas bearing much of the brunt of it. As such, food banks are continuing to work overtime to keep communities fed and hydrated, despite also having experienced significant storm damage.

That’s why we’re giving readers the opportunity to donate to Feeding the Carolinas, a network that unites the 10 Feeding America Food Banks serving North and South Carolina. As of mid-October, the network was back to serving all 146 counties in the two states and implementing new supply drops weekly in all Helene-impacted counties.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Feeding the Carolinas — and with Thanksgiving and the winter holidays around the corner, your support is needed more than ever. The organization will soon begin specialized food distributions to provide the normal staples in addition to the culturally specific foods that we all like to enjoy during the holiday season.
