Abstract:
For individuals with terminal illnesses, life can be complicated further by having to choose between buying medications and other needs. Helping individuals living with HIV/AIDS is a food pantry that provides more than a way to not choose between medications and groceries. In fact, this food pantry provides more than the household items also on the shelves. Partnering with local hospices, food banks, and nonprofits, Loving Food Resources helps to improve the quality of life remaining for individuals from 16 of the 17 Western North Carolina counties.

Abstract:
A nonprofit started by Ali Casparian in 2012 sought to do more than offer provisions for those experiencing food insecurity; she sought to help individuals have a healthier, sustainable way of life. Through the support of organizations such as MANNA Foodbank, Swannanoa Community Garden, and New Sprout Organic Farms, the dream has become a reality that has gone beyond her vision. The reality turned into three weekly market locations, a daycare center, senior housing center, provided for senior citizens and low-income families in Buncombe County.

Abstract:
In 2009, UNC professor Maureen Berner, East Carolina University political scientist Sharon Paynter, and photojournalist Donn Young documented the work of nonprofits and volunteers who help feed the working poor. The Raleigh food bank established temporary food-assistance agencies that never closed due to increasing demand for food. A more practical approach might be to provide refrigerators and other resources to food banks and pantries.
