Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach

06/15/2026

We're sure you've seen this building in Lake Lure. It's the Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach, a food pantry that we have supported for years. Did you know that when we have few donations from the community, the members of the board provide extra food donations so we never go empty-handed?

We know grocery prices are high, but fortunately, what they need from us this month are condiments and seasonings. Easy! Please bring your donations to the Gerton Post Office and place in marked donations the bins under the counter. (We can't accept expired items.) We will deliver to the Hickory Nut Gorge Outreach on Thurs. June 25.
