If you would like to make a monetary donation you can make a check payable to Currituck Extension Foundation and bring that to the office or mail it to NCCE , 120 Community Way, Barco NC 27917. Please add attention to Stephanie Minton on the outside of the envelope, and add a note in the memo section of your check 4-H Food Drive. Online donations can be made at the Currituck Extension Foundation website.
At the end of the food drive all monetary donations will be sent to the Lower Currituck Food Pantry.
