Every day as many as 450,000 people, including 149,000 children, are at risk of going hungry in Central and Eastern North Carolina.  The staff at Pulley Watson believes they can make a difference.  Pulley, Watson, King & Lischer, P.A. is sponsoring a Food Drive for the Durham Branch of the Food Bank, from Monday, July 13 to Friday, July 17.  Established in 1980, the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina is a non-profit organization that provides food to people at risk of hunger. 
 
Malvern King, Jr., a founding partner of the firm, and member of  the Durham Advisory Council Board of the Food Bank of NC, says he is excited about sponsoring a summer food drive.  “Hunger is a very real community issue and many of the agencies seem to get ignored in the summer – their supplies get extremely low during that time.”

The items most needed (no glass, please) include canned meals, peanut butter, cereal, canned fruits and vegetables, rice, pasta and dried beans, hygiene items, infant products, and paper products.  Please bring your items to the Pulley Watson offices at 905 West Main Street in Durham at Brightleaf Square. Financial contributions can also be donated online at the Pulley Watson Virtual Food Drive web page:  www.foodbankcenc.org/VFD_PulleyWatson
