CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina, in Cumberland County, has kept busy in 2020, working to provide food for thousands in the Sandhills.
"People are really struggling, and it's people you've never seen before coming to a pantry," said Food Bank Director David Griffin.
Griffin told ABC11 their nonprofit has helped 40 percent more people this year. "It's been a challenge, but a challenge that we welcome, because that's a part of our mission."
With the increase in demand, the food bank has needed to heavily rely on their current funds and the countless generous donors who have helped them distribute food across the southeast region.
