032720 ccdoc2CHARLOTTE — Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte was the recipient of a large grant of food from “JustServe,” a group connected with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The food donation was so large that CCDOC partnered with Loaves and Fishes in Charlotte, a food distribution provider to those in need, to help deliver the 26 pallets of food to the Diocesan Pastoral Center in multiple deliveries.

The first group of 13 pallets was delivered March 16. Jaime Fore, Catholic Charities’ volunteer coordinator in Charlotte, assisted in coordinating the deliveries.

“We have never received this much (food in one grant) before I don’t think,” Fore said. The donated food is already being boxed up to distribute curbside to CCDOC clients.
