    NC food bank tripling donations today for International Women's Month

    For one day only, The Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina is going to be tripling donations today in honor of International Women’s Month.

    RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — For one day only, Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina is going to be tripling donations today in honor of International Women’s Month.

    Let’s say you were able to donate just $10 dollars on March 14. Staff would be able to purchase 150 meals with that donation amount, when it ordinarily would be 50.

    The special fundraising event is being made possible thanks to generous donations from supporters and will help fight food insecurity among women in our state.

    According to recent data from the USDA, almost 13% of US households experienced food insecurity in 2022.

    Single women with kids accounted for 24.3% of these households, while women living alone accounted for 13.2%. The numbers are higher for women of color.

    Feeding America finds that more than 1.2 million residents across North Carolina are facing food insecurity.

    Simu Liu is giving generously to make sure no American goes hungry.

    The star attended the BoxLunch Gala honouring Feeding America at City Market Social House in Los Angeles on Wednesday as a presenter. He presented a $100,000 cheque from BoxLunch to Casey Marsh – the Chief Development Officer for Feeding America, but surprised audiences with a donation of his own.

    Hilariously, Liu joked he initially thought BoxLunch was a sandwich shop before discovering it supported retail stories to give back to their local communities.

    “BoxLunch has an impact on people across the entire United States through the donations each retail store makes to its local community, and its donations to Feeding America’s nationwide efforts,” he shared. “Now I am thrilled to be a part of that. I couldn’t let the opportunity to help make a difference as the new Giving Ambassador pass so I felt moved and honored to match and double the Boxlunch Donation and make it $200,000!”

    Steve Vranes, CEO at BoxLunch, praised Liu and the efforts of Feeding America. He said, “It is incredible to have the support of Simu as our Giving Ambassador as we continue to bring awareness to the missions of BoxLunch and Feeding America. Tonight was a powerful celebration of what we have done thus far, and it was an inspiration for what we can do going-forward.”

    –
    Chef Sémone Hopkins, an Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) and Culinary Institute of Virginia (CIV) alumna, took the 2021 Favorite Chef title after competing against more than 25,000 competitors worldwide. Not only was she treated to a $50,000 cash prize and featured in a Bon Appétit advertorial spread, but she was given the opportunity to showcase her skills in front of Iron Chef America winner celebrity chef Beau MacMillan at a private event in Paradise Valley, AZ. 

    What is exciting about winning a culinary competition like Fav Chef is “the exposure I have received. I have gotten so much press attention, have been featured in newspapers, and have been interviewed on popular podcasts. You might see me on-screen in the near future, but that is all I can say,” she said. 

    The Favorite Chef Competition is also thrilled to announce that Chef Hopkins is rapidly growing two small businesses — Sémone’s Sweets and Mone’s Mesa — proving that hard work, talent, and drive can bring great success. Hopkins is a passionate sweet and savory cook who specializes in baking and cake decorating but has chops in all areas of cooking. 

    Favorite Chef is an online voting competition exclusively designed with cooks, chefs, and culinary creatives in mind. The 2021 Competition was hosted by the legendary Chef Eddie Matney, a beloved Phoenix, AZ, restaurateur who is often recognized for his colorful personality. Favorite Chef, LLC donated over $1.1M from the Competition to Feeding America®, making an estimated 11.5 million meals available to communities in need during the pandemic.
