Bounty & Soul Business Offices — Attraction in Black Mountain

This is an amazing concept and amazing opportunity to help those in need, but unfortunately there needs to be more crowd control. The amount of hostility and tension you feel going to a market is not good. People will shove in front of you, reach their arms out to stop you from grabbing something. Don't say excuse me and it feels like a weird competition. I also do truly believe there needs to be a limit of quantity per person. I know they try to control this by asking how many are in the household and mention it beforehand, but people grabbing full buckets of items is a little insensitive to others who cannot come to the markets until a later time. Maybe come up with a better system? I don't really have the answers because people will take what they want when it's offered. Regardless, I am really thankful for this program. I am a type 1 diabetic and struggle with affording healthy, balanced meals. I am lucky I found this program and appreciate all the work they do at tackling food injustice. Hope they branch out to more lower income communities...

It's a charity that takes inexpensive or near expiring food, either by donation or out of pocket to pack, and take to the nearby markets for the downtrodden to have. The food choice and the quality of it is dependent on how well volunteers can scrutinize said food for compost or consumption. I have volunteered here twice through Warren Wilson College, and it's good volunteering for a good cause.

A note on the food quality: it bounces from good to edible. Rotten food is composted as it's sorted.

I strongly recommend it to anyone who has problems with food security or if you want to spend an afternoon or two making...

An amazing organization that offers fresh produce and meals to people within the community. Their belief is that everyone should have access to good food. My first time going and met sweet Whitney who explained the organization and what they do. Just a fantastic program and should be something that happens all across the globe. We don’t always have the funds available to buy fresh produce so Bounty and Soul helps put good produce on our table for my family to eat. I feel good knowing I can prepare a meal using fresh produce. Thank you Bounty...
