September is Hunger Action Month – a time to turn care for our neighbors into practical support.

Here on the Highlands Cashiers Plateau, you can help by:
• Donating shelf-stable food and household essentials – items such as peanut butter, cereal, rice, beans, soup, canned tuna, diapers, toilet paper, and hygiene supplies are among needs listed locally.
• Giving funds, which lets food-relief partners respond to changing needs.
• Volunteering your time to sort, stock, pack, or distribute food.
• Sharing this post and encouraging a friend, workplace, club, or congregation to organize a collection.

The Highlands Food Pantry, Fishes & Loaves Food Pantry, and Highlands Emergency Council all help neighbors across our Plateau. A small action can help put healthy food and essential supplies within reach.

Take action this September: donate, volunteer, share, and help nourish our community.

Access to better health means more than an appointment. It means access to care, coverage, and the financial stability that helps families prioritize their well-being.

Across our rural mountain communities, the gaps are real: Macon County has one primary-care physician for every 1,790 people; about 1 in 7 residents is uninsured; and there were 10,000 patient visits in the clinic’s first three years.

Highlands Cashiers Health Foundation supports local initiatives and healthcare grants that help meet these challenges – so more of our neighbors can access the care and resources they need to thrive.

Together, we can build a healthier Plateau.

Access to care shouldn’t depend on income, language, or circumstance. Yet for many in our region, those barriers are a daily reality.

Through partnerships like this, we are helping create spaces where individuals are seen, understood, and cared for — with dignity and compassion. Your support makes this work possible.
