The Pamlico Democratic Party (PCDP) is committed to supporting our Pamlico County community by conducting a much-needed summer drive for monetary donations, food, and hygiene items. Monetary donations are especially impactful because food pantries have greater purchasing power than individuals. They can buy in bulk, stretch every dollar further, and purchase exactly what is needed at the right time. If you are able, we ask you to please support our local food pantry by writing a check made payable to PCFLO—Pamlico County Fishes and Loaves Outreach (please include “PCDP Summer Food Drive” on the check’s memo line). PCDP will collect all financial, food, and hygiene donations and ensure that 100% of contributions are delivered promptly to the Fishes and Loaves Food Pantry.
Checks (made payable to PCFLO), food, and hygiene supplies may be delivered to:
Pamlico County Democratic Party HQ,
13630 NC Hwy 55, Alliance, NC
Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 9:30am - noon or Tuesday, June 23, 2026 from 4 - 6pm.
You can also drop your donations (check, food, etc.) at the next PCDP monthly meeting on June 18th. If you would prefer to mail your donation, please send your check to PCDP, PO Box 1052, Oriental, NC 28571. Checks should be made payable to PCFLO (include “PCDP Summer Food Drive” on the memo line). Please mail your check by June 15 to be included in the campaign.
If you would prefer to donate food or hygiene items instead of a check, here is a brief list of items that are especially helpful:
Pancake Mix Peanut Butter.
Peanut butter is the most requested item by food banks.
Canned Proteins & Canned Beans.
Pasta Noodles & Canned Pasta Sauce. Food pantries strongly recommend against purchasing items in glass. They break too easily.
Macaroni and Cheese. Large Family sized box.
Canned Vegetables, Canned Soups & Canned Fruit
Big Bags of Rice Healthy Snacks and Juices. Kids will be out of school for the summer and will be looking for some snacks.
Hygiene Items. Toothpaste, full-sized bars of soap, Shampoo, individually wrapped toilet paper, feminine care supplies.
Thank you so very much for working with us to help ensure that our friends and neighbors in Pamlico County have food to eat during this extraordinarily difficult time. Please direct any questions to Tony Reardon at
