For 25 years, we have provided essential food and clothing to low-income residents, prioritizing dignity and respect while embodying our core values of faith, compassion, generosity, and change.

For the community, by the community.

Ashe Really Cares is a non profit food and clothing pantry founded by the Ashe Baptist Association in 1999 as a resource for members of Ashe County to meet physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. Since then ARC staff and volunteers work to provide for neighbors immediate needs as well as offer referrals and other resources as needed.

Client Choice Food pantry

Neighbors who qualify have access to quality clothing, accessories, blankets, and a variety of household items are available monthly.

Community Clothing Pantry

Free Bibles, spiritual materials, and prayer are available to anyone who needs it. We're happy to help get you connected with spiritual counseling, and resources or find a church near you.

Supporting Faith

Ashe Really Cares is partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank, Ashe Baptist Association, and donors from all over to provide perishable and non-perishable food for our neighbors in need.
