Seven days a week, RCS gathers good food from area grocery stores, restaurants and produce growers that would otherwise be destroyed.  This food is used in our Food Pantry, Soup Kitchen and Homeless Shelter, and shared with three senior/disabled adults housing sites and after-school programs for at-risk youth.

In addition, RCS provides our clients with basic health screenings through the services of East Carolina University School of Nursing.
