Feeding1000 · Saturday, October 3, 2026
One plate. One person. One community showing up for another.
On October 3, we are serving 1,000 hot meals across Greenville and Kinston. Every plate is $10. Every plate tells someone, "You have not been forgotten."
Put your business name on 100 hot meals
Feeding1000 is the most visible day of the year for House of HUGS. Churches, volunteers, and neighbors show up in two cities for one purpose. Your business can be part of it.
Every partnership is measured in plates, so you'll know exactly what your gift did.
Here's how it works
Buy one plate. Buy five. Buy twenty. Every plate feeds a neighbor on October 3. It also helps House of HUGS keep serving women and children all year long. That is what we call Chewing With a Purpose.
Our 2026 goal: 1,000 hot meals and $10,000 raised.
Come eat with us.
Come as you are. We would love to share a hot meal with you. It is free. No sign-up. No questions. Bring your family and friends.

"Thank you. This means a lot."
At Feeding1000, I saw Marie, someone I had known since grade school. At first she dropped her head and would not look at me. I went right to her. We hugged, and no words were needed. She knew I understood her journey.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "Thank you. This means a lot." I handed her a plate and said, "You're most welcome. It's all love."
That plate was paid for by somebody she will never meet.
