Buncombe County is partnering with MANNA FoodBank to host a food drive for those in the county or region that may be struggling with food insecurity. Starting on Friday, Oct. 31, donations will be accepted at any County library. These donations will support MANNA’s operation which on average serves more than 137,000 people per month in Western North Carolina. Foods needed include shelf-stable foods like canned fruits and vegetables, proteins like chicken and tuna (pouches preferred), and dried beans and rice. A full list of needed items for food drives can be found on Buncombe County's website.
The closest public library to the Town of Biltmore Forest is the Skyland/South Asheville library at 250 Overlook Road, Asheville NC 28803.
