Feed A Neighbor Sponsorship

Because Carolina Is Home, And At Our House, Everybody Eats.

Sweet Marie's has always been about more than food.

It's about taking care of people.

Through our Feed A Neighbor (FAN), local businesses, organizations, and families help us provide meals with dignity throughout Southeastern North Carolina.

Food insecurity often looks different than people expect.

Sometimes it's a family going through a difficult season. Sometimes it's a senior citizen stretching a fixed income. Sometimes it's a caregiver trying to balance responsibilities while making ends meet. Sometimes it's someone experiencing homelessness.

Whatever the circumstance, our goal is simple:

To provide good food, dignity, and a sense of normalcy when people need it most.

How FAN Meals Are Served

Daily FAN Meals

Beginning on opening day, FAN meals will be available during regular business hours at Sweet Marie's Diner.

There are no separate lines, special menus, brown bags, questions, or stigma.

Guests receive the same wholesome meals we proudly serve every customer, made possible by our FAN sponsors and supporters.

Family-Style Community Meal Events

Sweet Marie's and our community partners identify areas of need throughout Southeastern North Carolina.

Working alongside local businesses, churches, civic groups, and community organizations, we host family-style meal events that bring people together around good food and good company.

These events provide more than a meal. They provide dignity, community, and a sense of normalcy.

Community Outreach Initiatives

When times are tough, we'll meet people where they are.

Whether it's a family experiencing a difficult season, seniors and caregivers needing a helping hand, or those experiencing homelessness, FAN allows us to respond with good food, compassion, and dignity.
