We have been growing steadily. We are now operating three main food access programs where we purchase food from local farmers to donate to local food pantries and free community fridges.

In April, we were invited to participate in MANNA Food Bank’s Essential Foods Program which supports local food hubs in purchasing more local farm food for charitable distribution to MANNA Food Bank Agency Partners. This program has helped us put more than $25,000 into the hands of local farmers over the last 3 months expanding our outreach to 8 additional food pantries and feeding more families in need. We are so grateful to MANNA for their partnership and commitment to serving communities in Far Western North Carolina.
