We are working double time to get 1,000+ locally-sourced meals into the community each day.
Thank you for helping us reach our initial goal. Your support is allowing us to purchase essential equipment to scale production and continue buying ingredients from small farms at market price, whose usual sales outlets have been disrupted.
The road to recovery is long, but with your support, we can continue nourishing our community every step of the way.
Please consider a recurring gift so that we can sustain our increased meal production.
Our current direct aid meals are being distributed in partnership with:
Asheville’s public housing communities, including 1,500 residents living at Bartlett Arms, Murray Hill, Klondike, Hillcrest, Pisgah View, Deaverview, plus 350 seniors at Aston Towers & Asheville Terrace
ABCCM crises centers, via Mother Earth Food trucks
Poder Emma, supporting Latinx community living in mobile home communities
Medicaid clients via the Healthy Opportunity Pilot
Food Connection’s Free Food Truck out in neighborhoods facing the most dangerous resource disruptions
The Safe Shelter
Asheville's public housing communities
Ongoing mutual aid groups as requests continue

Similar to when our work started at the onset of COVID, our farmers face a situation where their normal markets are shut down, so purchasing from them has a double impact: It supports the resilience of local agriculture and ensures the meals we share are deeply nourishing.
Thank you for helping us support small farms and nourish the communities most devastated by Hurricane Helene.
