Chatham Outreach Alliance

Chatham Outreach Alliance (CORA) provides food to individuals and families within our community who are in need during difficult personal economic periods. Together we are building a community without hunger!

CORA is a not-for-profit food pantry that serves residents in need of food within Chatham County, North Carolina. Our ultimate goal at CORA is to end hunger in our community by soliciting, collecting, and purchasing food for distribution through our food pantry and a network of alliances, programs, and special events. CORA serves any Chatham County resident who needs emergency food. We are open five days a week, Monday – Friday, 10 am to 2 pm (excluding state holidays). Clients can receive a week’s worth of groceries up to six times in a 12-month period. These weekly food allotments are selected to provide 21 nutritious meals for each family member. The pantry is a place of hope and comfort for many in our community, a respite from their struggles where there is always an empathetic ear, supportive smile, and shelves of food to help meet their needs. CORA currently fills 100% of client requests and turns no resident away.
