Once a month, on a designated day, residents can place their donations on their front porches to be picked up by a volunteer neighborhood coordinator.

Where does the donated food go?

Most donations go the CORA Food Pantry, which provides emergency food to individuals and families in Chatham County, NC. A portion of the donations are also taken to local schools.

How do I know what food items to donate?

PORCH – Briar Chapel is happy to accept shelf-stable food of any kind, and you can follow its Facebook page for monthly posts on what items are most needed each month.
