Highlighting Winston-Salem's Nonprofits One Organization at a Time

Who is your go to when donating Winston-Salem?

By Jeffrey Willey Publisher Macaroni KID, Winston-Salem, NC July 28, 2022

Are you someone that is looking to make a change in the world?  Do you see good deeds being done and want to do your part?  Maybe you have a personal attachment to a certain organization.  Whatever the case may be, non-profit companies depend on the support of outside/public funding.  It is downright imperative to their survival.  As you go about your day making plans, please take the time to make a plan to help.  

There are so many ways that we can help in our community.  Some non-profits are looking for supplies, while some simply need volunteers.  Of course, there is the traditional financial donation that allows organizations to stay afloat.  Not to mention, some of you are looking for tax breaks, donating to a non-profit allows you to write that donation off.  

There are many non-profit organizations in and around the Winston-Salem area that are looking for help from people in our community.  People like you!  At Macaroni KID Winston-Salem we will be highlighting a different non-profit organization weekly nominated by our readers. If you have a non-profit organization you would like to nominate please email us at mackidwinstonsalem@macaronikid.com.  All nominations must be made by a current subscriber of Macaroni KID Winston-Salem. This week, we recognize:


H.O.P.E. of Winston-Salem




355 NW Crawford Place
Winston-Salem, NC 27105

 336-750-7964
 H.O.P.E. is reducing childhood hunger in Forsyth County by delivering over 1,000 healthy meals to children at risk of hunger and fresh produce to food-insecure families at 26 sites throughout Winston-Salem every weekend. Providing nutritious weekend meals and fresh produce helps brain development, and school performance and improves family eating habits so that every child has a chance to grow and thrive. 
   Winston-Salem is one of the top cities in the entire United States for hunger in families with children. North Carolina and Louisiana are now the top states for hunger in children ages 0-4. One of every four children in North Carolina has insufficient food to meet nutritional needs!

Come help with assembling the lunches on Saturdays, delivering the food on Sundays, gathering food and supply donations during the week, and baking some of our scrumptious cake squares for lunches (they are healthy but don’t tell the kids!).
We NEED Volunteers! Individual or bring a group – all details and instructions to sign-up are online HERE easy, positive, and fun. Donate Funds! Every dollar provides a nutritious fresh lunch for a child in need. Donate funds online HERE. Donate Supplies! Furnish some of the ingredients for our bakers, food for lunches, produce for families, or supplies such as lunch bags, napkins, etc.  Contact us at 336-816-0801 or at scott@hopews.org for details on supply donations.
