Governor Cooper tours Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina [Video]

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — September is hunger action month and this an initiative to help inspire people to take action and raise awareness and help people experiencing food insecurity.

Governor Roy Cooper and NC First Lady Kristin Cooper took part in hunger action month on Friday. They stopped to take a look at the growing garden on the food bank’s campus full of fresh produce before heading inside to help volunteers with sorting sweet potatoes

Governor Cooper said 12% of North Carolinas population can not count on a good meal everyday.

He said they encourage people and programs that help teach people how to grow their own foods.
