Our monthly food markets bring fresh, accessible groceries directly to communities across Transylvania County, ensuring neighbors have consistent access to nourishing food close to home. Each week, our market rotates locations to meet people where they are — serving families at five locations around the county every Thursday. By hosting free and low-barrier food markets throughout the month, we help reduce food insecurity, support rural communities, and create reliable access points for healthy groceries across the county.
In addition to our mobile markets, the Hunger Coalition supports local food access through a Monthly Pantry Run, delivering essential groceries to trusted partner pantries throughout the community. Once a month, we supply seven local food pantries with fresh vegetables, milk, eggs, cheese, and a variety of shelf-stable canned goods.
Many of us suffer from food insecurity at various times of our lives due to a wide range of circumstances. The Hunger Coalition of Transylvania County seeks to provide access to food to those in need during these times. Our mission is to combat hunger, increase whole, healthy food access, and empower healthier lifestyles through nutritional education.
