Benevolent Box Deliveries - Bounty & Soul
BOUNTY & SOUL
Before you even begin thinking about volunteering, ask yourself - Am I well enough to volunteer? Your safety and limiting the spread of COVID-19 is everyone’s main priority. We encourage you to review and adhere to the recommendations on the Buncombe County readiness site on how best to avoid COVID-19 and what to do if you think you might have it.
Bounty & Soul is a community-based non-profit with a mission to connect people to food, education and each other.
Are you looking for a safe way to connect community members with nourishing food and resources? If so, consider joining our rotation of Benevolent Box volunteers who deliver our free, farm-fresh CSA-style boxes to homebound individuals who are unable to attend weekly markets. Shifts take place every other week on Tuesdays at 10am and Fridays at 3pm with flexibility and would involve home delivery to up to 6 households throughout Black Mountain, Swannanoa and Asheville.

Why does this matter? We have to limit the number of people attending each project. This helps everyone stay safe by following COVID-19 specific safety measures.

Safety is our top priority and we want to be sure needs are met while also being safe.
