Inter-Faith Food Shuttle

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is a hunger relief organization based on Blair Drive in Raleigh and working across the Triangle. Its stated vision is a hunger-free community, and the work splits three ways: feeding neighbors, teaching self-sufficiency and growing healthy food. The approach it describes is finding new ways to end hunger.

The feeding side gets nutritious food to children, families and seniors who do not have enough. The teaching side runs programs that give people the skills to meet their own food needs, and the growing side raises fresh produce and helps neighbors grow their own.
