Thanks in large measure to the efforts of the Varsity Church of Chapel Hill in cooperation with No Kid Hungry NC, and TABLE, four community sites were established in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area to provide "food for the summer" in the last three years.  Last year 901 children were fed during the summer months.

This year participating organizations and individuals, with the support of Mayor Hemminger of Chapel Hill and the Chapel Hill Town Council  along with  an army of volunteers, hope to increase the number of community sites from 4 to 20 and feed more than 1,600 of our children. The school district will make the food and volunteers will pick up, deliver, and manage the serving of the food at the community sites. 

 Of the expanded interest, and support for the program, Chad Simpkins of Varsity Church says,  "It’s been neat  to see all the different people around the table not just talking but actually putting action to words…we had the vision of what it looked like to feed kids in the community and to see the community itself embrace that and use that to feed more kids is a really great thing to watch it grow. It may be organized chaos, but in the end the kids will get the food and that is what  matters most."
