West Chatham Food Pantry opened in 2007 with the mission to obtain and distribute free food to the hungry of Chatham County, primarily in the western portion of the county and to collaborate with similar food programs of other community based organizations such as the Interfaith Food Shuttle and Central and Eastern NC Food Bank.  We provide assistance needed by the unemployed and low-income residents of the community and also serve as a safety net to those who suddenly encounter unforeseen emergencies such as job loss, family illness or other family emergency.  Since opening our doors, qualifying families have been able to receive food from our facility every 2 weeks.  The Pantry also provides a backpack program for elementary students who qualify.  We operate solely by volunteers and there is a job for everyone.

I am a local realtor focusing on new construction, land sales and first-time home buyers.  I work in the onsite office in Chapel Ridge and have a strong understanding of all guidelines associated with Chapel Ridge.  Living in Pittsboro since 2002, I am a strong advocate of everything the community has to offer.  I love working with people to help them realize their dreams!

Emery's Place Consignment and Resale is a small home-based business out of Staley, NC.  Emery's Place was named after my grandfather Emery Poindexter who went home to be with the Lord in 2010.  As a child, my grandfather would go to auctions, flea markets, and yard sales bringing home lots of treasures.  He would buy older model cars, trucks, and tractors to refurbish and sell them.  So, you can say he passed this type of lifestyle down to me. 

Emery's Place sells consignment items mostly online through multiple platforms (eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, etc.) to reach customers all across the United States.  You can catch Emery's Place at related events and festivals throughout the year.  Emery's Place website is in the works (emerysplace.com).
