We’ve all been feeling it at the gas pump but do you know who is so close to that issue that feels the financial squeeze everyday?

The gas station clerks. They earn an average of $11.50 to $14.00 in Brunswick & New Hanover counties.

This evening we assembled bags of groceries - ingredients for a breakfast and for an Italian dinner and dropped them off to every gas station clerk in Leland. We were met with surprise and joy.

Thank you for giving to 86 Hunger Now so we can continue to bring joy to others through food.
