In late September, Hurricane Helene hit us hard, leaving many without homes and facing uncertainty. Without hesitation, Bounty & Soul sprang into action, serving over 18,000 hot meals alongside essential supplies. Now, we’re bringing our Farmers Market Truck out to deliver fresh produce to the community. This is a long road, but we’re in it together, and we’re here for the long haul because we are a community and we love you.
We are grateful for partnerships with local businesses and organizations that receive fresh food from us to make meals for the community and we also thank local farmers who continue to share their fresh produce.
Please help support efforts to serve these devastated communities.
Here is a list of food and supplies we are currently receiving:
SUPPLIES:
· NEW warm coats (all sizes)
· NEW warm and durable hats and gloves
· NEW warm blankets
FOOD:
· Protein Options: Canned beans, nut butters
· Whole Grains: Quinoa, rice, whole grain wraps, muesli, rolled oats
· Healthy Fats: Canned olives, avocado pouches, shelf stable hummus, nuts, seeds
· Fruit & Vegetables: Dried fruits

Please drop off your donations at our hub between 9 AM and 4 PM at 1038 Old US Hwy 70W, Black Mountain.
