Fresh South Carolina peaches help fight hunger across the Carolinas through annual donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina.
MATTHEWS, N.C., Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Harris Teeter and Titan Farms are celebrating the 13th year of their Peaches with a Purpose campaign, a longstanding partnership dedicated to increasing access to fresh, nutritious food for families facing hunger. This year, the organizations will donate 37,800 pounds of fresh peaches to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina for distribution across the communities it serves. Since the campaign began in 2013, Titan Farms has donated an average of 35,000 pounds of peaches annually, helping provide fresh produce to neighbors in need throughout the region.
“We’re proud to continue this meaningful partnership with Titan Farms and Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina,” said Danna Robinson, director of corporate affairs and customer relations for Harris Teeter. “Access to fresh produce remains a significant need for many families. Through Peaches with a Purpose, we’re able to help provide nutritious food while supporting the communities we call home.”
In August, Salem Transportation will once again donate its time and transportation services to deliver Titan Farms peaches from South Carolina to Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina. Their continued support helps ensure thousands of pounds of fresh fruit reach families across the region.
“For more than a decade, our partnership with Harris Teeter has allowed us to transform simple grocery purchases into genuine community impact,” said Chalmers Carr, CEO of Titan Farms. “Fresh produce forms the foundation of healthy nutrition in food bank programs, and we’re proud to provide our neighbors with the same high-quality, delicious peaches that grace family tables across the region. This campaign represents our shared commitment to ensuring no family goes without access to fresh, nutritious food.”
