CORA’s mission is to provide nutritious food to community members facing food insecurity.
CORA envisions a community without hunger. We provide access to healthy food through our choice food pantry, Mobile Markets, and specialized programs like SNACK! and CORApacks, which address the unique needs of children. CORA envisions a healthy, strong, and connected community without hunger, where all people have access to abundant, safe, nutritious, and community-preferred food. Our work helps build a healthy Chatham County where families thrive, children do well in school, and seniors do not face the stress of choosing between food and other necessities.
At our CORA, we embrace a culture that treats all individuals fairly and respectfully. We are dedicated to fostering dignity by consistently demonstrating genuine care, concern, and support. Adhering to strong ethical and moral standards ensures that CORA fulfills its mission with integrity, compassion, and efficiency.
Our ultimate goal at CORA is to build a community without hunger by collecting and purchasing healthy food for distribution through our food pantry, related programs, and network of local partners.
CORA has been a trusted leader on hunger and food insecurity issues in Chatham County for 35 years. We are a nonprofit organization with no political or religious affiliation, and like hunger, we do not discriminate. As equal opportunity providers, we are committed to building a community without hunger. We champion hassle-free access to food and recognize plentiful nutrition as central to the health and success of individuals and the foundation of a resilient, vibrant society. At CORA, we believe that only by working together as a community will we be able to fulfill our mission of ending hunger.
