The Food Connection Mission

Food Connection eases hunger, reduces waste and supports our local food industry by rescuing and redistributing surplus prepared food to serve our neighbors in need. Food Connection is currently operating in Western North Carolina in Buncombe, Henderson and Madison Counties. 


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 and around the Asheville, NC  area. We're ready to take this show on the road and expand. Please consider going on this journey with us by making a contribution.

Big News for Food Connection

We’re excited to share that our Hendersonville operations are up and running! Thanks to our new refrigerated trailer at St. James Episcopal Church—and generous food donors like Bonclarken, Eagle’s Nest Camp, and Gwynn Valley Camp—we’re rescuing more surplus food and feeding more neighbors. We're inspired by this growing network of food donors and the shared commitment to reducing waste and nourishing our community.

Henderson County food RECIPIENT PARTNERS:


• Providence House

• Back on Track ministries

• Love & Respect Community for Recovery and Wellness

• The Hendersonville Rescue Mission

• Amazing Grace Ministries

“Bonclarken is excited to be the first food donor partner to get on board with Food Connection’s Hendersonville expansion,” says Chef Jacob Daley, Executive Chef. “We’re glad to be able to help provide meals for those in need within our community. This partnership aligns deeply with Bonclarken’s mission, and we’re happy to be a part of it!”

”It was a joy to receive 59 trays of food from Food Connection—enough to fill our freezer! Their support helps us continue serving hot, nourishing meals to our Hendersonville neighbors each week. We’re so grateful for this partnership!” Glenda Tapper, Worship Meal Co-Leader, Providence House Ministries
