We are grateful for all the many way our community supports Outreach and Polk County neighbors in need - 

In April, at the start of the pandemic, Big Chuck the Moonshiner held a 2 day food drive at Harmon Field. His event was generously supported by our community and nearly 3000 pounds of food & supplies were donated to our food pantry.

Cool Kids alert - 

Tryon Elementary School 1st Grade Classes toured Outreach to learn more about how the food they collected and donated to Outreach helped to feed Polk County neighbors.

Girl Scout Troop 13162 toured Outreach to learn more about the services we offer and to hear how our food pantry helps out Polk County neighbors. These girls brought girl scout cookies, cereal, peanut butter & jelly to help stock our food pantry shelves.

NC Nicholas Green Award winner Neil Rostick donated his monetary award to his two special charities, Outreach and Paws, Prayers & Promises and to his 6th grade Language Arts teacher to purchase novels for her classroom.

The Youth Group at Holy Cross Episcopal Church shops for Outreach every quarter. They get a shopping list from our food pantry and then load up our shelves!

Tryon Elementary School collected over 2300 cans of food for Outreach during their Kindness Initiative last February.

Sunny View Elementary School collected 1900 pounds of food this fall during their Thanksgiving canned food drive.
