Want to score free entry to the N.C. State Fair while helping those in need? Smithfield Foods Hunger Relief Day is back on Thursday, October 24th from 9:00 am to 9:45 pm. Just bring six items of food, and voilà—free admission!

This year’s donations will support Hurricane Helene relief efforts in western North Carolina, so bring those plastic peanut butter jars, pop-top tuna cans, and dried fruit to lend a helping hand. Plus, you can even volunteer at the gates for more good vibes (and free entry).

No sponsorship here—just a knack for good causes, giant pretzels, and Peachey’s donuts.
