CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and Hope Street Food Pantry is preparing to serve 300 families that week. In order to make sure everyone in need has enough food for the table, the nonprofit need donations.
Hope Street Food Pantry opened in September 2018, becoming the first food pantry in the 28269 ZIP code. It started as a small pantry, serving out of a basement in an old house. On its opening night, the nonprofit served four families. After three years, Hope Street Food Pantry moved into a new building and has served over 30,000 people. The mission is still the same: To serve anyone in need of food with love and acceptance.
