Food Connection has big news- we're now able to take fresh, rescued meals directly to families using our new van! Watch what happened when we took rescued sweet potato casserole, roasted quartered chicken, beef brisket, fresh veggies and more, directly into a local neighborhood and fed 89 people! Our deepest gratitude goes out to the Episcopal Diocese of Western North Carolina who awarded us the Human Hurt and Hope Grant to purchase the van. We thank the Diocese and St. James Episcopal Church, Black Mountain, NC for helping us take our mission to reduce waste and ease hunger into a whole new place- into neighborhoods!  We are currently seeking volunteers in the Swannanoa Valley to help out. We are also currently fundraising to ensure the ongoing success of this mission. Please donate if you can!

Food Connection has rescued and delivered well over 215,000 fresh, gourmet meals and connected them to those in need. We need your help to continue. Your support will allow us to expand our mission because we firmly believe that no fresh food should ever end up in the trash while people go hungry. 

Food Connection needs your help! We are currently seeking volunteer drivers, food packers and distributors to help us rescue the surplus fresh meals from Ridgecrest Conference Center and connect it with neighbors living in our local mobile home communities in Swannanoa and Black Mountain. This is the perfect opportunity for faith groups, couples and parents with teenage children.
