Food insecurity is being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. More than 35% of households with children were considered “food insecure” in Mecklenburg County not knowing if food would be available from day to day.

​

​Food insecure homes have a reduced quality and variety of diet, may eat less and eating patterns are disrupted due to lack of money and resources.

We are proud to be one of the only fully independent food pantries in all of North Carolina, allowing our services to be easily accessible and low-barrier, no referrals required.

​

The more than 10,000 families that we have served and especially the children in these families are the heart of why we serve. 

We have proudly served the greater Charlotte, NC metro area since 2017. We provide shelf-stable and perishable (think fruits, veggies, milk etc.) groceries, personal care supplies, baby needs including diapers and formula, pet supplies and more.

​

Our curbside pickup serves anyone in need who can get to our facility. Our delivery service is for those that qualify within Mecklenburg County.

We are one of the only pantries in Mecklenburg County that provides our clients with full choice to select the items that they need and want through our custom appointment system on our website. We chose to give those experiencing a crisis the same dignity that we enjoy when we shop for ourselves, rather than just handing them a box of pre-selected items that most often do not allow for unique preferences, diets and health requirements.
