Local Community Engagement Markets are playing a key role in helping Buncombe County families access a wide variety of services. With the recent spike in inflation, these markets are helping residents weather the storm. Born out of a partnership between MANNA Food Bank and Buncombe County's Community Engagement team, the network has expanded and includes a diverse set of partner organizations committed to ensuring no family is left behind. These markets offer a way to build relationships and connections through the provision of food at no cost to the public, along with resource connections to services offered by Buncombe County and community partners.
