Applying For Services

Important Notice: Due to increased demand for Grocery Services, it is taking our team a bit longer than usual to process new applications. Our dedicated team is working hard to enroll as many eligible families as possible into this long-term service as quickly as we can.

If you or someone you know needs immediate food assistance, please visit us at Donoghue’s Open Door at FeedNC (2456 Charlotte Hwy, Mooresville) Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 2 PM, for one free meal per person per day. We are here and ready to serve!

If you are not yet enrolled in our grocery services and are waiting to hear from us, or if you’ve recently been impacted and need food assistance, please stop by Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM, to receive an emergency food box filled with nonperishable items (box includes 1 mac & cheese, 1 rice, 2 cans of vegetables, 1 box of pasta, 1 jar of pasta sauce).

At FeedNC, our mission is to create connections to food, education, and resources as a catalyst for change. While our Food & Nutrition Programs are what brings most families to us, many find additional life-changing support in our Workforce & Education Programs & our Social Capital & Dignity Programs. Whatever brought you to us, we're so glad you're here — and we look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
