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 which started in November 1992.
WFMY News 2 continues its Food 2 Families tradition by partnering with Well-Spring Retirement Community and The Shoe Market to host a food drive to benefit the Greensboro Urban Ministry. On Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 you can bring donations to any of the four participating Walmart Supercenters, 2 participating Neighborhood Walmart stores, or 16 participating Food Lion locations in Guilford County.
Your donations will help to stock the shelves of the Greensboro Urban Ministry Food Pantry. The GUM Food Pantry is a "choice" pantry where guests get to come in and choose the foods they would like to take home. The pantry provides emergency groceries to community members struggling to access nutritious and adequate amounts of food necessary for a healthy diet.
If you can't attend the food drive, you can donate money to the Greensboro Urban Ministry by clicking here. Select: Donate to Food Pantry.
