Staff Report
As spring approaches, the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina is bringing much-needed food assistance to communities across the region with its March 2025 Pop-Up Markets. These markets will provide fresh food and essential groceries to individuals and families—no income, residency, or ID requirements needed.
With multiple locations across the state, these pop-ups ensure that everyone has access to nutritious food, whether through drive-thru or walk-up distributions.
The Food Bank’s mobile markets will take place throughout March, including stops at:
- Halifax County Center – March 3rd, Halifax, NC
- Hopkins Chapel Baptist Church – March 6th, Zebulon, NC
- Mag’s Marketplace (with Coley Springs Baptist Church) – March 7th, Warrenton, NC
- First Baptist Church – March 10th, Mt. Olive, NC
- Bennett Baptist Church – March 11th, Bennett, NC (New location!)
- Greater Cleggs Chapel Community Baptist Church Community Center – March 13th, Timberlake, NC (New location!)
- Central Carolina Community College – March 20th, Sanford, NC
- Oak Grove Baptist Church – March 21st, Littleton, NC
- Saint Augustine’s University Athletic Complex – March 25th, Raleigh, NC
Eastern NC Locations
For those in the eastern part of the state, pop-ups will be available at:
- Cerro Gordo Baptist Church – March 3rd, Cerro Gordo, NC
- Jerusalem Chapel Free Will Baptist Church – March 19th, Chadbourn, NC
How It Works
Distributions will be first come, first served, while supplies last. Some markets will operate as a drive-thru, while others will be walk-up.
A Helping Hand When It’s Needed Most
Food insecurity remains a pressing issue, but initiatives like these, help bridge the gap for many North Carolinians. If you or someone you know could benefit from these resources, spread the word and visit a nearby pop-up market.
