True Inspiration Award for North Carolina Food Pantry

 02/05/2023

A True Inspiration Award of $75,000 has been made to the Filling Station in the town of Pollocksville in Jones County, North Carolina. The Filling Station serves as a local community pantry.

 

True Inspiration Awards were established in 2015 to honor the legacy and generosity of S. Truett Cathy founder of Chick-fil-A. In 2022, $5 million in True Inspiration Awards were granted to 46 nonprofits in North America with individual amounts ranging from $30,000 to $350,000.

 

 

Jones County is ranked as an economically distressed county in North Carolina based on median household income and unemployment.  In 2018, Hurricane Florence almost destroyed the town of Pollocksville and the population declined by 14 percent between 2010 and 2020 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
