The Open Door Food Pantry of Perquimans County, which has been serving county residents for more than four decades, won the Nonprofit of the Year Award. Just a few weeks ago, the food pantry celebrated the grand opening of its 3,200-square-foot renovated building on Creek Drive in Winfall. Kim Stites, the pantry’s program manager, and two Open Door volunteers

accepted the Nonprofit of the Year plaque.

 

“This award is about our community coming together as a community to continue our mission,” Stites said. “It’s through the support of our board of directors, volunteers, and the community that allow us to expand our mission to offer a client choice pantry. We’re also glad the new pantry is allowing us to provide educational services to the community.”
