When winter temperatures drop, too many families in Northwest North Carolina face an impossible decision: pay for heat or put food on the table.

For seniors living on fixed incomes, parents caring for children, and neighbors managing chronic health needs, the cost of staying warm can mean skipping meals or going without lifesaving medication.

Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC is here to help ensure families don’t have to make that choice.

Together, we can provide nourishing food and hope during the coldest months of the year.

Because no one should have to choose between heat and food.
