Community Pantries

Here are our guiding beliefs for our FREE Community Food Pantries:

THERE IS NO LIMIT to how much you take.

Take what you need, neighbors. All of our pantries operate on this model. We hope that when folks get food, they are reminded that people are rooting for them all across WNC.

This is a coalition-sponsored, community-owned pantry.

We welcome you to stock it as you are able. If right now, that’s not realistic, feel NO guilt. We believe that mutual aid means that other folks in your community will give out of their abundance, regardless of your ability to contribute.

Who should take food?

ANYONE WHO EATS! Rich people, poor people, tall people, small people. All the people. (Dogz and Catz welcome too.)
