Volunteer in Equal Plates Project

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

Equal Plates Project is a nonprofit strengthening Western North Carolina’s local food system by connecting small farms, Asheville chefs, and the community. We provide scratch-made, nutritious meals to neighbors facing barriers to food access while supporting local farms.

Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic, we source high-quality ingredients from local farms to prepare meals for underserved communities, charter schools, and those experiencing food insecurity. Through our kitchens, we prioritize fresh, local ingredients to nourish and unite the community.
