Our Mission is to help curb the hunger crisis! Access to food is a human right.

by Andrew

Mission Statement: To bring awareness of food insecurities as they exist among our most vulnerable populations, to gift it forward by honoring Mama Edna’s legacy of feeding those who are hungry and to lift folks out of these insecurities by helping them thrive in all aspects of their lives to include helping them grow their own food when possible.


We are soooooo close to getting our final inspection for our thrift store called Mama Edna’s located at 1393 Maynard Rd SE Cary, North Carolina 27511.
