Food Connection is heartbroken that thousands of our neighbors may not have enough to eat when SNAP benefits run out on November 1st.
We're doing everything we can to increase meal production and distribution to meet the growing demand — but we can’t do it without your help.
Here’s how you can make an immediate difference:
Your donation allows us to provide even more meals at each of our weekly public distributions in Fairview, Leicester, Candler, Weaverville and Swannanoa.
We’ll need extra hands to pick up donated food, pack meals, and support our rapid response efforts.!
