2024 YPN Realtors® Care Day Food Drive

Registration for this event is now closed.

1 can = 1 pound of food

Help us reach our goal to collect 2,000 lbs. of food. Donated items will support Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina

Realtors® Care Day furthers its impact in Mecklenburg and Iredell Counties. Partner with the Canopy Young Professionalís Network and the Canopy Housing Foundation by donating to the 2024 Food Drive. More information about Second Harvest and their incredible impact can be found at www.secondharvestmetrolina.org.

Healthy bodies and minds require nutritious meals to think! We encourage our food donors to give the most nutritious items whenever possible, to ensure we are contributing to the good health of people struggling with hunger, and to help SHMETROLINA reach its goal of increasing the amount of nutritious food distributed.

Special thanks to EE. Ward Moving and Storage for their asistance with food collection and trasportation.
