Our Ongoing Mission

In Partnership With You

It's been our vision and ongoing mission since 2000, that each person in Henderson County has sufficient food and hygiene items to live life with dignity and without hunger. Through our partnerships within the community, we are able to provide regular food boxes for individuals and families in need. 

Most clients pick up their food boxes at 1049 Spartanburg Highway. Our countywide monthly delivery routes assist 60+- seniors to fill the gaps for those most in need.  These deliveries help seniors extend their budgets, filling in the gaps and assuring better nutrition.

Throughout the year we also partner with Henderson County Public Schools to help with school supplies and snacks, Blessings in Boxes for local children at Christmas, and Thanksgiving groceries for 35-40 families.

Our Food Pantry List

We distributed 19,820 boxes/bags of food in 2024. That's a 41% increase over 2023.

Your Food Drive helps us continue to help our neighbors in need!

You can deliver donated food, personal hygiene items and household cleaning supplies to The Storehouse whenever we are open: Wed, thru Fri. 9-2pm. Or call 828-692-8300.

If your Food Drive was super successful, we can arrange to pick up items from your location.

THANK YOU!

Neighbors Helping Neighbors

the way it's supposed to be

Hunger is painful and impacts many of our local children, seniors and those struggling with sudden economic changes. Our food supply comes from individual donations and local food drives. We also use the resources of Manna Food Bank, part of Feeding America. In addition, we also purchase certain essential foods.

Financial donations are critical to meeting the increasing needs of our Henderson County neighbors. A $100. donation provides us with 667 pounds of food! 

And we absolutely love when a club, school or church group organizes a food drive for us! That's a great team builder for clubs and groups.

Since Helene visited WNC...

Since Hurricane Helene, 'Reaching People Right Here Right Now' has been the theme throughout Western North Carolina. So many people, churches, and agencies are working nonstop to help those in distress. There are countless stories of heartbreak and loss and just as many accounts of rescue, relief and sharing everything you have, to help someone who truly needs it.

The first week of October, 2024 we organized a two-day drive-thru sharing water, pet food, canned goods, cleaning products...you name it. We resumed our normal food distribution the following week for our clients and many new folks who asked for help.

But the real story is layers deep! Truckloads came from around our nation delivering essential food and clothing to Western NC. The agencies, the churches, and the neighborhoods networked together, sharing everything they had and delivering supplies to where they were needed. ❤

As the storm recovery continued, our Christmas project was in full swing. 'Blessings in Boxes' provided gifts for 2600+ children from 1022 local families seeking help in 2024. For more info contact [email protected] or call 828-692-8300.  ​​​​​​​

Essentials delivered to our seniors

Thanks to a grant from CFWNC

In 2020, a $15K grant from The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina enabled The Storehouse to provide essential (and sometimes scarce) items to our 50 seniors on home delivery.  The scarcity of many items, coupled with seniors on a fixed income, could have been a recipe for disaster during those uncertain times.

Now, through generous donations, we continue to offer trash bags, soaps, cleaning supplies, paper items, shampoo, deodorant and other personal care items to some of the most vulnerable people we serve.

We are always seeking partners to help us continue this effort. THANK YOU!
