The Chatham Chuckwagon works to promote community care and food equity in Chatham County thanks to donations from local community members, churches, businesses and farmers.
The Chatham Chuckwagon partners with volunteers to prepare delicious, healthy meals on a weekly basis, at one of several local community kitchens. The meals are packaged, frozen and given to members of the community free of charge.
Within the last year, the program has provided over 20,000 meals to members of our community.
We invite community members to come pick up a meal for you and your family or volunteer to come join a cooking or distribution team and meet new neighbors and maybe make new friends while making Chatham a better place for all.
