The Sanctuary Project is a unique coalition of over 20 State, County and Non-Profit agencies who address the needs of Veterans, Seniors and others in need in Duplin County.

One of the most needed facets of the Sanctuary Project is the creation of a Duplin County Food Bank. The Food Bank is now operational and open three days a week. The hours of operation for the Veterans Food Bank are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Monday distribution is limited to eligible veterans only. The Wednesday and Friday distributions are also available to eligible Senior Citizens and non- veteran recipients, and are limited to once per week per family. To become eligible to become a Food Bank recipient, participants must complete the Sanctuary Project Food Bank Application and Waiver Forms PRIOR to collection-without exception. Photo ID is required. Please consider making the Sanctuary Project the recipient of your organizations next food drive.
