The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina provides a lot of meals for local families in need year round. We will be collecting donations for the Food Bank this weekend at our Ostara Sabbat at Umstead Park. March is National Nutrition Month! What a wonderful opportunity to donate a variety of foods to help our neighbors! Let’s help fight hunger!
