It’s officially been two years since Hurricane Helene, and next month will mark the anniversary of our first free food distribution on campus in the aftermath of the storm.
It feels like just yesterday I was watching the sun set at the end of our six-hour distribution days, volunteering every chance we could at Equal Plates Project or MANNA’s donation warehouse, and welcoming so many new community members who hadn’t shopped our shelves before.

Looking back on these past two years, I’m filled with so much gratitude. Thank you for all of your support, love, and belief in this work. Your dedication to this initiative is what keeps me going and reminds me why we started in the first place.

Much love, always!!! 🫶

One year ago today we held our first distribution of free food on UNCA’s campus post-hurricane Helene. For us, it is important to remember Helene beyond the initial terror and destruction. Thank you for all your support and love for the past year. We are so grateful, inspired, and humbled by your dedication in supporting our mission!

FEI would like to say a HUGE thank you to HOBY North Carolina West for all of your help today!!

In just two hours, these incredible high school students cleaned and reorganized our pantry and made 118 sandwiches for Asheville’s free fridges.

What could have taken our summer staff (Jordan and Mikaela) weeks to accomplish was completed in a single afternoon thanks to their hard work, energy, and dedication. We are beyond grateful for your support and willingness to serve our community. Words cannot express our gratitude!!!

Much much much love,
FEI 🫶
