The Food Connection Mission
Food Connection eases hunger, reduces waste and supports our local food industry by redistributing surplus prepared food and purchasing meals from chefs to serve our neighbors in need.
Thank you partners!
We are incredibly grateful to ALL of our Food Donor Partners who go the extra mile to pack up their leftovers and call Food Connection. We've started quite the revolution in Asheville and Buncombe County. We're ready to take this show on the road and expand. Please consider going on this journey with us by making a contribution.

New! 2022 Mobile Meals - Complimentary Food Truck Experience
Announcing our latest Food Connection project! Our Mobile Meals will:
• operate as a food rescue vehicle to pick up surplus leftover prepared food from food donor partners which we often receive in large hotel pans for institutional use.
• have just what we need to repack large hotel pans of food into individual heat and serve meals perfect for individuals and families.
• reach rural communities outside of the Asheville area, with onboard cold storage allowing us to travel further distances while maintaining safe holding temperatures.
• provide a complimentary food truck experience by going directly into low wealth neighborhoods and offering our neighbors their choice of menu items for free of charge, no questions asked. ALL are welcome!
You can help make this dream a reality!
THIS JUST IN: We have an anonymous donor who will MATCH 100% of donations that come in for our new truck up to $55,000!
