Big Ivy Community Center serves the local community and surrounding communities in Buncombe and Madison County. We have public grounds as well as public service programs such as our food pantry. We host multiple events and programs throughout the year that are intent on helping our Big Ivy community thrive. Currently we are supporting the surrounding community with comprehensive needs in response to the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.
We currently have a high need for volunteers to support the management of our weekly meal service at both lunch and dinner Monday-Friday. (Wednesday's - Friday's are our busiest days and when support is needed most)
