Quotes:
"We are impressed with the work these organizations have been doing in the Triangle and hope these grants will only increase their ability to fight hunger," says Jay White, VP of New Store Development & Community Relations, and a Share the Food Board Member. "We believe that every dollar given to us to fight hunger should do just that. Southern Season funds all of the administration costs of the Foundation so that 100% of all proceeds raised will be used to fight hunger.”
