Inter-Faith Food Shuttle

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is an innovative hunger-relief organization serving seven counties in and around the Triangle area of North Carolina.  We believe hunger IS fixable if the community works together to do two things: create sources of healthy food in every low-income neighborhood and grow opportunities for people to provide for themselves by learning job skills or growing their own food.   From BackPack Buddies to nutrition education, mobile markets to community gardens, culinary job training to urban agriculture training, we go directly to people in need and create what works to empower them.  We feed. We teach. We grow…to create a hunger-free and healthy community.

Our Mission: Inter-Faith Food Shuttle pioneers innovative, transformative solutions designed to end hunger in our community.

The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has an eight acre teaching farm in Raleigh, North Carolina that enages over 300 volunteers every month.  The farm grows organic produce for donation and to sell to local restaurants.  The farm also has bee hives, goats, worms and laying hens.  The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle also have two urban agriculture sites.  The Camden Street Learning Garden is located in southeast Raliegh and has a food forest, raised garden beds for organic produce, a compost classroom and a teaching kitchen/classroom onsite.  Just 20 miles west in Durham, NC the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle has a second urban agriculture site, the Geer Street Learning Garden. This garden has a garden classroom, a "food hub", pollinator and vegetable gardens and a compost classroom.  Both urban agriculture sites work with volunteers from kindergarden all the way up to adults.  Both sites also advocate for garden-based cooking activities, composting, local food distribution and outreach to local schools.
