Our mission is to make all plates equal.
To achieve this mission, we serve as the link between local farmers and community.
Equal Plates Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit
Our mission is to connect WNC’s agricultural communities with our neighbors who need access to fresh, locally-grown, nutritious meals. We do this by purchasing from farmers at fair market-rate and transforming their ingredients into delicious, scratch-made meals to share with those who need it most.
We work to shift the paradigm of food sharing.
We source top-quality ingredients from local farms and transform them into delicious, scratch-made meals at our 2 commercial kitchens in Asheville, NC.
Our meals go to mission-aligned partners – subsidized elderly homes, parenting support groups, agencies serving unhoused folks, charter schools, and directly to the doors of residents living in affordable housing.
We recognize that the community members we serve face complex, systemic barriers to accessing the top-quality food that we all deserve.
