Equal Plates Project

Who We Are

Equal Plates Project is a local nonprofit strengthening Western North Carolina’s local food system by connecting farms to ovens to community.

We source high-quality ingredients from local farms to prepare nourishing meals for underserved communities and neighbors experiencing food insecurity. 

What We Do

Mission: To support local farmers, address food insecurity, and build community through scratch-cooked meals.

FARM:  We purchase at least 50% of our ingredients from small WNC farms at fair prices

OVEN: We transform locally-sourced ingredients into nourishing meals, thanks to our dedicated chefs and volunteers

COMMUNITY: We partner with community organizations to share thousands of meals each week with neighbors facing food insecurity
