Chatham Outreach Alliance
About
CORA operates two choice food pantries that welcome neighbors in need to choose the produce, shelf-stable goods, breads, proteins, and other items their families enjoy. Our pantries are located in Pittsboro, NC and Siler City, NC. CORA operates two programs that provide groceries for children on the days they aren’t at school. SNACK! boxes are distributed at sites around Chatham County during the summer, and CORApacks are delivered to homes during the school year. Pop-up drive-through food distributions at off-site locations, offering a variety of groceries, including fresh produce. Approximately 11% of the population in Chatham County lives at or below the poverty level, and 27% is considered low-income. In addition, according to the 2024 Chatham County Health Assessment, about 1 in 17 adults reported worrying about running out of food before they had money to buy more. Access to nutritious food is key to a healthy, vibrant community. When people have enough to eat, they’re healthier, stronger, and better able to care for their families, succeed at work or school, and contribute to the well-being of their neighbors. Feeding people isn’t just an act of compassion, it’s how we build a thriving, connected community where everyone can flourish.
