Recognizing the current financial pressures faced by military families and the need for immediate, tangible support within the Fort Bragg community, the Greater Fayetteville Chamber Military Affairs Council is hosting Operation Patriot Pantry, an installation food drive to support Fort Bragg soldiers and their families.
The community is invited to contribute non-perishable food items to support those who serve our nation.
• When: Wednesday, November 20, 2025
• Time: 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. (or until the trucks are full)
• Where: Highland Shopping Center parking lot at 2800 Raeford Rd.
A moving truck, generously provided by Two Men and a Truck, will be on-site to collect donations. Representatives will be available to assist with loading supplies. "Our mission is to support our military community, and right now, the most impactful way we can do that is by providing essential resources to those facing financial strain," said retired U.S. Army Gen. Ferd Irizarry, Military Affairs Council chair. "While we look forward to future socials when conditions improve, our priority today is ensuring our soldiers and their families have the support they need."
The Greater Fayetteville Chamber and its Military Affairs Council encourages businesses and individuals across the region to contribute to this vital effort.
“Our service members and their families support us every day of the year and preserve our country's freedom,” Greater Fayetteville Chamber President/CEO Nat Robertson said. “It's our turn to return that favor.”
