What Is It?

The Reconciliation Food Pantry was identified as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, has a reasonable chance of making a difference in food insecurity and access to food outcomes in Yancey County. This is an ongoing program in our community. 

The customers for this program are Yancey County residents. The Reconciliation Food Pantry aims to make a difference at the individual change level. Implementation takes place at Reconciliation House in Burnsville.

Progress in 2022

Reconciliation House Food Pantry launched an online ordering platform for clients to shop for food. They also transitioned back to a client choice/self-selection model where clients can shop for food of their choice. During COVID-19, clients were given a pre-made box of food. The Food Pantry did not see a change in the number of clients served in 2022. However, there was a shift in clientele makeup. The Food Pantry supported fewer larger families but helped more older adults in 2022.

Progress in 2023

The Reconcilation House served 4,836 unduplicated individuals and 5,076 duplicated (meaning the organization helped these individuals more than once a month) in 2023. This is highest number of partipants ever served. All aged ranges were served but 2023 brought an 11% increase in ages 65+.

The reconcilation house continued to use a Client Choice model where families were given the ability to select food in an experience similar to grocery store shoping. The "orderahead.org" platform allows partipants to order online and pickup curbside as a convenience.
