The Need

Food insecurity is a chronic problem in Avery County and the surrounding area.

  • Approximately 3,000 (17%) of Avery County residents experience some degree of uncertainty about their next meal during the year.
  • This includes between 750 and 1,000 children.
  • Current programs reach less than 32% of those in need.

Feeding Avery Families is committed addressing food insecurity through a variety of Food Distribution and Community Outreach programs.
