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.

The mission of Ashe Really Cares is to serve our community in a way that exemplifies the love of Christ. 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. The food pantry is available appointment only. For neighbors who are unable to meet an appointment time, additional resources are available in pre-built boxes that include pantry staples. This option is available once a month. It is not a requirement to call ahead but is still encouraged as this option is first come first serve and varies based on products on hand at that time.
