Volunteer Opportunity - Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day at the NC State Fair

Hunger Relief Day at the NC Sate Fair is happening on 

Thursday, October 24th! 

Bring six items of food to donate and get free admission to the fair!

This year, all food donated on this day will be sent to Western NC to support Hurricane Helene relief efforts. The products listed below are in high demand and for families who may not have access to power and cooking fuel. We strongly suggest bringing these products as they are the most helpful right now. 

1. Peanut butter and jams (larger plastic jars)

2. Chicken, tuna, or salmon (in pouches or pop-top cans)

3. Ravioli and other ready-to-heat meals (in pop-top cans)

4. Crackers (boxes or sealed containers)

5. Dried or canned fruit (sealed containers or pop-top cans)

6. Granola or protein bars (boxes with individually-wrapped contents)

You can also sign up for a volunteer shift and help collect food at one of the gates. This also allows you free admission to the fair that day.
