Mother Hubbard's Cupboard operates on the generosity and support of the compassionate people and organizations in Southeastern North Carolina. Food is obtained during quarterly food drives at local grocery stores, through donations from churches, civic groups, and individuals, and with donated funds food is purchased at the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina and local grocery stores.
Mother Hubbard's Cupboard has no paid staff. It operates entirely through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers with a working board of directors whose members personally supervise daily management activities.
Mother Hubbard's Cupboard is an ALL VOLUNTEER organization. We can always use help! Please note that although we accept volunteers as young as 11, volunteers between the ages of 11 & 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Volunteers 15 and older may volunteer on their own. All volunteers must have a COVID-19 vaccination. Below are some of the ways our volunteers help:
