ICYMI, yesterday was World Hunger Day — and did you know more than 1.5 million North Carolinians are food insecure?

The YMCA of WNC is working to change that with their Mobile Food Markets. Each month, 8,000+ locals are fed thanks to the farmer’s market style approach where attendees take home all the fresh fruit and vegetables they need at no cost.

Plus, participants can learn from cooking demonstrations and take home free recipe cards + tips for healthy eating.*
