FUNDRAISER TO END HUNGER
Join us for an inspiring evening where our community comes together to ensure no child, family, or senior goes hungry. Hosted by Out of the Garden Project, Hearts for Hunger brings neighbors, partners, and leaders together around one shared belief: when a community comes together, lasting change is possible. Together, we are nourishing families across the Piedmont Triad - one meal, one family, one community at a time.

Why This Night Matters
More than 600,000 families in North Carolina face hunger and many are right here in our community.
At Out of the Garden Project, we are working every day to change that by providing fresh, nutritious food to children, families, and seniors across the Piedmont.
In 2025, together we:
- Shared 2.1 million pounds of food
- Nourished 33,000 families across our region
And in 2026, we are working toward an even greater goal:
👉 3 million pounds of food shared
👉 45,000 families nourished
This event helps make that possible.
Together, We Nourish
When neighbors care for one another, lives are changed.
Thank you for being part of a community that believes everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food and the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.
