As federal SNAP support remains uncertain, dozens of food pantries in Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties — as well as on the Qualla Boundary — are preparing for surging need.
If you or someone you know needs additional help finding a location near you, use the interactive food-finder map provided by MANNA FoodBank at mannafoodbank.org/where-to-get-help or call MANNA’s food helpline at 828.290.9749 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
If you know of any food bank locations not listed here, let us know! Email news@smokymountainnews.com with as much information as possible.
