Compiled by Thomas van Arsdale and Cullen Lea • Photography by Allison Potter WHO is feedingWHOM Every day in New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties, thousands of men, women, children and elderly are at risk of hunger. These local food pantries, soup kitchens and emergency shelters are working to ensure no belly goes empty. These volunteer-staffed organizations, clocking countless hours, are reaching out to make sure no soul is undernourished, no person goes uncared for; because every person matters, and every kind gesture counts.
