Our Impact
Everyday Reconciliation House serves our neighbors in Yancey County by providing food, clothing, and necessary household items who are struggling to make ends meet due to employers reducing scheduled work hours, low wages, low fixed income, cuts in the food stamp program, sickness, or injury.
Yearly we approximately serve 3,000 families with food boxes. Give out over 13,000 items of clothing, and over 2,000 household items to families in need. A $8 Donation to Reconciliation House will provide a food box for a family of four.
Over the last 33 years we have helped a large portion of the community that has fallen on hard times. Building on this experience, Reconciliation House continues to improve and increase its benefit to the community. Reconciliation House works with local churches and other local organizations including: Dig In! Yancey Community Garden, Burnsville Farmers Market, First Baptist Community Garden, the TRACTOR program of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Yancey County, local farmers, and individual gardeners to efficiently coordinate this hunger relief effort. With over 70 rotating volunteers serving over 600 hours of service a month, we have the manpower to distribute food to those in need in the community. This is a great example of community helping community.
