All Challengers Support Local North Carolina Food Banks, Hunger Relief Programs, and Animal Welfare.
Donations support local North Carolina food banks and hunger relief programs. As a result of Covid-19, food insecurity is expected to double worldwide. Our updated goal is to raise a $150,000 to support local programs, including Feeding The Carolinas, The Inter-faith Council for Social Service, and Table. In addition, you can choose to donate to support the Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary supporting animal welfare in North Carolina.
