They are Carteret, Craven, Greene, Jones, Lenior, Onslow, Pamlico and Pitt counties. Three counties served are shared with the Raleigh Branch; these counties are Duplin, Edgecombe and Wilson counties

Last year over 6.9 million pounds of food was distributed to 151 agencies in those counties.

The Greenville warehouse is 22,900 square feet and has the capacity to store 274 pallets in dry storage and 100 pallets of refrigerated/frozen food.

Did you know? If you stacked all the cans received from food drives that were distributed last year at the Greenville Branch, the stack would be over 18 miles high!
