Rural Food Access Network

Find Food in Haywood County

What is the Rural Food Access Network?

The Rural Food Access Network (RFAN) is a network of our own charitable food distributions and those of partner and sister agencies around Haywood County. The issues of hunger is so large that no single entity can effectively provide food on their own. It takes a network of agencies, churches, and concerned citizens working together to make sure that Everyone has Access to the food they need, when and where they need it.
