30 years of WFMY News 2's Food 2 Families

November 2022 marks 30 years since WFMY News 2 started its Food 2 Families campaign to feed families in our community. This fall's drive will happen Oct. 14-15.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — WFMY News 2's mission is to connect communities and change lives. One way we've been executing that mission is with our annual Food 2 Families campaign. It started in November 1992 and this year marks 30 years of Food 2 Families. 

WFMY News 2 is continuing its Food 2 Families tradition by partnering with Well-Spring Retirement Community and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina to host a food drive to benefit the Greensboro Urban Ministry. On Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15, we'd like you to bring donations to any of the 16 participating Food Lion locations, 7 participating Harris Teeter locations, and 3 participating Neighborhood Walmart in Guilford County.  

Your donations will help to stock the shelves of the Greensboro Urban Ministry Food Pantry that distributes groceries to hundreds of local households each month. As they head into the winter and holiday months, the food pantry need increases, so every donation helps. If you can't attend the food drive, you can donate money to the Greensboro Urban Ministry by clicking here.
