Program

  1. In 2024, beach food pantry used 10 different distribution methods to ensure that no one in dare county had to worry about where their next meal would come from. Together, these programs served thousands of neighbors facing crisis or emergency situations - and gave them hope. We distributed almost 500,000 lbs of food, the equivalent of 416,667 total meals. 1. Client-choice, myplate-aligned pantry our flagship program in kitty hawk provides two weeks of free groceries based on family size. Guests "shop" for the foods that work best for their households, encouraging dignity and choice. Open hours: monday-friday, 2-4 pm (except major holidays) 2024 impact: served 5,699 individuals (from 2,881 households). 2. Online ordering for neighbors who can't come during pantry hours - due to work schedules or childcare needs, or for those with limited storage space - we offer online ordering with flexible pick up, monday-friday, 8 am -5 pm. 3. Mobile pantry special events transportation can be a major barrier, so we bring food to areas of highest need. In 2024, we continued monthly produce-focused events at the manteo public library from january-may, serving over 100 households each month. 4.…

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $76k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
