Welcome to the Sandhills Branch Home Page!

The Sandhills Branch of the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina serves 3 counties in south central North Carolina. They are Moore, Richmond and Scotland counties. One county served is shared with the Raleigh Branch, Lee county.

Last year over 4 million pounds of food was distributed to 104 agencies in those counties.

Volunteers donated over 3,000 hours of their time last year.  This is equivalent to approximately 1.5 full-time employees!
