History
Sparked by a child’s heartbreaking words, “It’s not my day to eat,” Ginger turned her outrage into action and began providing bagged lunches for students in need and now B4K redistributes surplus groceries into the community, ensuring food doesn’t go to waste.
FREE grocery giveaway at Fayetteville Street Elementary (2905 Fayetteville St.)
LAST Sunday of the month​
Hundreds in Durham face hunger daily, with food insecurity disproportionately impacting poor, working-class Black and brown communities.
​
The #DurhamEats2024 campaign is a collective effort to ensure food access for all, built on solidarity, not charity.​
If your mutual aid or food justice group wants to collaborate, email Baggingit4kids@gmail.com.
Follow #DurhamEats2024 for updates on food distributions, events, and cookouts.
