Did you know September is Hunger Action Month? In North Carolina alone, more than 1.6 million people struggle with constant access to food.

To help fight hunger here at home, the YMCA of WNC offers a series of mobile food markets across five regional counties.

Each mobile food market offers:

  • Fresh, free produce, no questions asked
  • Nutrition tips + recipes
  • Additional community partners to connect families to resources

See the full list of pop-up dates and locations here.
