Food Pantry - CORA’s pantries are set up like a grocery stores for choice shopping, and community members choose the food that matches their preferences and needs. Mobile Market - We currently distribute food via a drive-through model. Families stay in their cars, and pre-packed groceries are placed in their vehicles. There are assorted options like the Pantry, including local fresh produce, meats, dairy, bakery items, and shelf-stable staples. SNACK! – This program distributes food to more than 1,300 kids who depend upon free or reduced-cost meals at school during the school year but have little or no replacement for this nutrition when school is not in session. provides each participating child with 21 healthy meals each week from mid-June through mid-August. CORApacks – Each student receives food on weekends and during school breaks when school is not in session from September through June. Each child receives a monthly food box from this program, delivered to their home, and contains three meals and two snacks daily for when a child is not in school. Delivery to Older Adults – We deliver food to home-bound older adults in our community. If food is needed beyond the two visits, please come to CORA, and we will assist you. We accept food donations Monday through Friday between 9 am - 3 pm at 40 Camp Drive in Pittsboro.

About 1 in 9 Chatham County residents recieved food from a CORA food pantry last year. So the answer to "Who uses CORA's Services?" is anyone. Anyone can find themselves in need of some food to get through when times are tough or when an unexpected bill comes. We'll be here if you need us.

With two food pantries, a warehouse, and programs out in the community, it takes some coordinating to get a staff of 15 in one place, and we were grateful to have an opportunity to collaborate for a whole day of strategic planning as we continue to work together to strengthen our work and grow our impact.

Two million meals. That is how much food that CORA shared this past year, thanks to support from our whole community. Our 2026 annual report shares the stories of a few of those two million meals: the joys and the hardships, the need in our community right now, and the voices of our neighbors and our volunteers. corafoodpantry.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/FY26-Annual-Report-1.pdf

As we wrap up one fiscal year and begin another, we made this scrapbook video for our volunteers, with just a few of the moments from the last year we didn't want to forget! Let’s enjoy looking back at all that we did together over the last year as we also look forward to another year of working together to care for our community!

Thank you to the LDS Church for including CORA as one of the 250 food pantries and food banks to receive a generous truckload of donations as a part of their 250 initiative! Our warehouse is now stocked with cases of essentials like beans, flour, peanut butter, spaghetti, oatmeal, mac & cheese, and even some special items we like to be able to provide in the pantry like salsa and cake mix and dish soap!
