Who We Are
What We Do
We provide nutritious food to individuals and families facing hardship. Through community partnerships and local support, we offer reliable access to food and connect neighbors with additional resources.
Why It Matters
Why it matters: Hunger is closer than many realize. In the U.S., 1 in 5 children face hunger. In Beaufort County, it is 1 in 4. Nearly 18% of residents live in poverty, making it harder for families to put food on the table.
Our Story
Our Mission
Christian Love in Action is to alleviate hunger in Beaufort County through compassionate action rooted in Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
A hunger-free Beaufort County where every neighbor in need is reached, every table is filled, and compassion that touches every neighbor.
Our History
We serve clients in Aurora, Chocowinity, and a migrant community North of Washington.
We serve a diverse community
Eagle’s Wings Food Pantry serves families and individuals throughout Washington and Beaufort County, North Carolina—a community rich in history, faith, and resilience, yet one that continues to face significant economic and social challenges. Located in the heart of eastern North Carolina, Washington serves as the county seat and commercial center for many surrounding rural communities, including Chocowinity, Aurora, Bath, Belhaven, Pantego, and numerous unincorporated communities. Through its primary pantry in Washington and mobile food distributions across the county, Eagle’s Wings extends hope and practical assistance to neighbors who might otherwise have limited access to nutritious food.

Volunteers
Volunteers perform 98% of our tasks! We can’t do what we do without YOU. Volunteerism is love in action. As it says in Galatians 5:13, “serve one another humbly in love.” Through giving your time, you become the hands and feet of Christ—bringing hope, nourishment, and compassion to our neighbors in need.
Our volunteers are the hands and feet of this mission—picking up groceries from local stores, receiving and sorting donations, packing food boxes, assisting with events, supporting office needs, and helping welcome and serve clients with dignity and compassion. Whether it’s event, pantry or secretarial support, you MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
Join us in serving.
