Asheville Strong’s newest initiative, Feed Our City, takes its concept from Restaurants for the People, a COVID-response program launched in mid-May by Spanish chef and humanitarian Jose Andres through his World Central Kitchen nonprofit.
Launched in mid-May, the program is a $50 million commitment to help local independent restaurants open and get back to work.
Faith-based organizations in WNC have historically worked to alleviate the daunting problem of hunger, pooling resources, collecting food and volunteering at nonprofits.
Asheville organizations rely on partnerships and volunteers to offer meals to hundreds of people in need each week.
