Loving Food Resources

WHAT THEY DO: Loving Food Resources (LFR) is a nonprofit organization whose mis- sion is to show love, compassion and respect to our community, while providing needed food, health and personal-care items to people in the 18 counties of Western North Carolina who are living with HIV/AIDS or are in home hospice care, regardless of diagnosis.

INCENTIVES

  • Those who contribute $100 or more will receive an “Access to Food is a Basic Human Right” bumper sticker.

MATCHES

  • An anonymous donor is matching the first $1,000 in donations.
Andy is on Social Security disability due to her HIV status but does not receive food stamps because her disability income is too high. Therefore, Andy needs a food source for herself. Through Western North Carolina Community Health Services, Andy discovered LFR, which she calls ‘the only resource for food for me to stay in good health.’ Andy stressed that the fruit, vegetables and protein that she receives from LFR have helped her control her weight with healthy food and lose 100 pounds. She is grateful to LFR for helping her and her family.
