LET'S SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY. We cannot rely on our federal government to feed us.

Friends, there is no denying the inevitable struggle many of our neighbors are facing with the cuts in SNAP benefits and anticipated cuts to the WIC program.

WNC From the Ground Up is offering space to collect and distribute donations. There are many great organizations in our community, and this initiative is not designed in any way to undermine the work they are already doing, simply offering the extra space and hands for the food-focused organizations within our community.

This effort was born out of community organizers representing a wide range of non-profits and county agencies, with one goal in mind: to quickly get food to the organizations that need it. 

Here are the ways you can help: 
Check the current "wishlists" of the area organizations- donate those items.
Simply bring any food donations to WNC From the Ground Up; current hours are Monday-Friday, 8 am- 6 pm, and by appointment only on Saturday.
Volunteer for a shift! Visit this link https://wncfromthegroundup.org/volunteer to sign up.
Monetary donations will not be accepted at this location; please donate directly to your preferred organization.
Help when and where you can!

Thank you!
