The Great American Bake Sale in Durham raises $650 for Share Our Strength this past Saturday!
This past Saturday, outside of Vega Metals in Durham, a collection of the Triangle’s Food Bloggers gathered with their baked goods for sale. Within 2 hours, Triangle residents had raised $650 for Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign, a national sponsor of the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle’s Cooking Matters program. With nearly 1-4 kids in America facing hunger, these funds help Share Our Strength build partnerships that bring together public officials, nonprofits, community and faith-based groups, private funders and businesses to develop a measurable plan that will end childhood hunger in a particular state or city. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle staff and volunteers were also present at the bake sale to share information with, and recruit volunteers for Share Our Strength’s culinary-based nutrition course, Cooking Matters. This 6-week program seeks to change behaviors related to eating and cooking meals with children, teens, adults, and families. In 2010, Cooking Matters hosted 39 courses that prepared over 450 healthy recipes with participants. Cooking Matters has set a goal to run at least 50 courses in and around the Triangle by the end of 2011 and we need your help to do that! Thanks to all the volunteers, foodbloggers, and bake sale consumers for making this Great American Bake Sale a HUGE success. We ended the day having raised money, awareness and volunteer commitment, moving us just a little closer to ending hunger in our communities.
Special thanks to a few of the foodbloggers who attended:

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Impact - Tornado Aftermath
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 13, 2011—RALEIGH, NC
INTER-FAITH FOOD SHUTTLE IMPACT IN AFTERMATH OF APRIL 16th TORNADOES
Raleigh, NC - Inter-Faith Food Shuttle (IFFS) reports on impact of Emergency Relief to devastated neighborhoods a month after tornadoes hit the Triangle. In the first week after tornadoes hit our state, IFFS:
- • Distributed over 150,000 pounds of emergency food and water
- • Provided boxes filled with food to more than 1325 people in 350 families
- • Prepared and served 1,000 free, hot meals a day for four days
- • Served a full Easter Dinner, complete with Easter Baskets
IFFS distributed an average of ten tons of emergency food each day to people impacted by the tornadoes and served hot meals where the tornadoes hit hardest. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle worked with the City of Raleigh, Red Cross and NC Baptist Men to provide them with food and supplement their efforts in the Triangle. In addition to our immediate emergency efforts, IFFS held free mobile markets in the Stony Brook neighborhood and Four Oaks community. We also distributed directly to families more than 1000 food boxes. Despite the fact that Inter-Faith Food Shuttle did not have power itself days after the tornadoes, IFFS staff and volunteers meet the emergency needs and continued delivering our planned services and distribution.
“Our community came together to help address the emergency. Companies and organizations called wanting to donate food and volunteers just showed up at our doors and asked what they could do to help. Food Shuttle put them to work and distributed the food to people in need,” said Terri Hutter, COO Food Service & Job Training for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle.
The need continues and Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is committed to continue to help families impacted by the tornadoes by increasing the food collected for and distributed to our 212 partner programs and agencies (soup kitchens, shelters, pantries, etc), conducting free mobile markets and delivering food boxes. We are working closely with our distribution partners in areas hardest hit to provide much needed food.

Calling all the garden geeks and plant fanatics!
Are your eyes bigger than your stomach when it comes to planting your garden? Do your friends and family beg you to grow less squash? Convert some of that garden space to feed the hungry! As the spring growing season bursts forth and summer veggies are planted out we are ramping up our Plant a Row for the Hungry program. For the third year we’re asking Triangle gardeners to grow an extra row for Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, or just donate when they have extra fresh produce.
It’s easy to PAR-ticipate!
- Sign up here or email localproduce@foodshuttle.org.
- When you have extra produce, deliver it to one of our drop-off sites during scheduled times.
- We pick it up and deliver it to agencies in our network of more than 200 soup kitchens, food pantries, and mobile free markets in the Triangle. We may also use it in our Culinary Job Training Program or in nutrition classes for low-income communities.
Check our website to find the closest drop-off site to you.
We kicked off PAR in Wake County at Logan Trading Company back in March, and now we are preparing to expand our horizons into Durham and Chatham counties.
Durhamites, join us this Saturday May 7 to kick off Plant a Row in Durham! We’ll be at the Durham Farmers Market all market long, 8 to noon, signing up new PAR members, and also accepting produce donations. Look for us at the center of the market, next to the market info table.
When you sign up you’ll receive a starter kit with compost, seeds, planting guide, coupons to local garden stores, seed potatoes and more, and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a DFM t-shirt, one of nine 50-pound bags of Black Kow compost from Stone Brothers & Byrd, and two free permaculture consultations with Naked Fruits, a new permaculture design and landscaping business based in Carrboro.
When you sign up for PAR, you can also purchase healthy organic transplants at the market, as well as ask the Master Gardeners your burning gardening questions. PLUS, it’s kids day at the market, and each kid will receive a free seedling.
If you know garden folks across the Chatham county line, tip them off to Plant a Row. We’re launching PAR in Chatham at Chatham Marketplace’s Fifth Birthday Party Saturday May 21, noon – 3 p.m. Expect the same kind of fun times and juicy give-aways!
And now let’s take a moment to remind ourselves why this work is important.
Did you know that in this area low income communities have some of the highest rates of obesity/chronic disease AND hunger in the country—largely due to limited access to healthy, fresh foods? Produce from your farm or garden helps provide access to fresh, nutritious food.
Thanks to our Durham sponsors Stone Brothers and Byrd and Naked Fruits and our partner the Durham Farmers Market! And continued thanks to our Wake partners and drop-off sites Logan Trading Company, Cary Whole Foods, and Western Wake Farmers Market.

The Food Effect
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr 07, 2011—RALEIGH, NC
The North Carolina Association of Feeding America Food Banks and the North Carolina Pork Council (NCPC) have joined to launch an Internet-based campaign to combat childhood hunger in the state.
The effort is called The Food Effect. It is being driven by an online network designed to unite people in the fight against childhood hunger and the negative impact it can have on childhood development.
Introduced in early April, The Food Effect website (TheFoodEffect.org) is enabling people to give money or time to the food bank in their area via one of N. C.'s seven regional food bank organizations, and to create discussion of the hunger issue within their social networks.
The campaign is in reaction to the fact that North Carolina continues to struggle with high levels of unemployment and is among the nation's worst states in the number of citizens in need of food. This holds true even more for North Carolina's children. According to a Feeding America study, North Carolina is tied with Louisiana for the highest percentage of hungry children one in four under age five.
Alan Briggs, executive director of the N. C. Association of Feeding America Food Banks, said, "We have been fortunate to be generously supported in North Carolina. However, the hunger problem is growing exponentially in a time when resources are under great strain."
Jill Staton Bullard, the co-founder and executive director of the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, commented, "All of us here at the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle are excited about this statewide partnership and look forward to a sustained fundraising success that will help support our innovative solutions to create a hunger-free community."
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle pioneers innovative, transformative solutions designed to end hunger in our community. These solutions focus on addressing the two major factors that create food hardship: Lack of Income and Lack of Access to nutritious food with a specific focus on addressing nutrition and health by delivering appropriate foods such as fresh local produce. Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is one of North Carolina's seven regional food bank organizations.
Bullard added, "The Food Effect will help increase awareness, solicit support, and acquire the food and funds necessary to help the more than 249,200 people experiencing food hardship in the greater Triangle".
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has served the Greater Triangle area since 1989, working to alleviate the ever- growing problem of hunger. IFFS actively serves children, adults, families and the elderly through proactive hunger relief programs including local fresh food recovery, job training programs in both culinary and farm skills, nutrition education through Share Our Strength's Cooking Matters classes, and by helping to grow the Community Garden movement.
Deborah Johnson, chief executive officer of the NCPC, commented, "Our industry is in a unique position to help the food banks drive this campaign. We are also proud to be associated with the Feeding America food banks and commend them on their invaluable work over the years."
During 2010, North Carolina's Feeding America food banks distributed more than 100 million pounds of nutritious food and other grocery products to more than 1,434,000 different North Carolinians.
The campaign's kickoff was announced on April 7 at a joint press conference held by Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger and N. C. House Speaker Thom Tillis.
Working as a statewide coalition, members of The Food Effect will attempt to communicate with anyone showing interest in the issue, including relevant organizations' memberships, church members, students, professionals, hourly workers, members of Congress, state legislators and the media.
For more information about the Food Effect, contact Melissa Hartzell at Inter-Faith Food Shuttle office (919) 250-0043, mobile (919) 414-2069 or email Melissa@foodshuttle.org.
