Kitty Hawk, N.C. (WTKR) - The Beach Food Pantry and Kitty Hawk Rotary Club have partnered up to hold a food drive.
The food drive will be held at Harris Teeter in Kill Devil Hills on Thursday, August 22, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

You can help fill the bus with the following items:
- Canned Pasta,
