Together for Good Food Campaign

Help us stock local food pantries with healthy meals.

Many families in our community are facing gaps in access to nutritious food and turn to local food pantries for support.

We are partnering with Equiti Foods, the maker of Good Bowls, to provide healthy, locally sourced meals to families working to keep good food on the table.

Together, we are helping food pantries offer meals that are nutritious and made from local ingredients to support families in need.

Your gift will stock food pantries with Good Bowls and provide nutritious meals to our neighbors.

2026 Update

Thanks to the support of Equiti Foods, we have been able to stock over 800 more ready-to-heat meals (and counting) at pantries around Durham, Chapel Hill, and Pittsboro this year!

5,151 meals donated
10 food pantries stocked

  • “Good Bowls have been a tremendous support for our neighbors. Families consistently tell us how much they appreciate having a healthy, ready‑to‑heat meal during busy or difficult weeks. Community partnerships like this make it possible for CORA to meet people where they are with dignity and care.”

    —Melissa Driver Beard, CORA Executive Director

  • “My children have loved having Good Bowls for dinner on the nights I work late. I appreciate that I can give them a quick, nutritious option that is easy to prepare.”
