“Last year, our community demonstrated incredible generosity during our first canned food drive,” said Mayor Costi Kutteh. “We hope to build on that momentum this year and continue supporting our local food pantries in their efforts to combat food insecurity.”

All donations will be distributed to local food pantries, ensuring that the collected items directly benefit those most in need within the Statesville community. Every donation, big or small, contributes to making a significant difference.

The City of Statesville remains committed to fostering a spirit of compassion and community engagement among its residents. By participating in this initiative, residents have an opportunity to join together in helping to ensure that no one in Statesville goes hungry.
