In just two months, local blood donors and sponsors have helped the Community Blood Center of the Carolinas (CBCC) donate a total of 30,570 pounds of food to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina as part of its Third Annual "Pint for Pounds" campaign.
During the months of January and February 2011, CBCC donated six pounds of food to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina for every pint of blood donated.
Since the campaign began in 2009, CBCC has been able to contribute 130,398 pounds of food to help feed the hungry in our community.
"Our donors and sponsors are people who truly believe in the greater good,” said Martin Grable, president and CEO of Community Blood Center of the Carolinas. “They’re not only blood donors, they help eliminate hunger, all in support of community. Over the last three years, they’ve rallied to make this a huge success. We can’t thank them enough.”
