Support Humanitarian Efforts

Urgent needs: Ways you can Help

Many in our community are seeking ways to help those suffering the devastating effects of local tragedies and humanitarian crises. Food insecurity continues to be a major challenge for many in our community, and there are many ways you can make a difference.


Give to the Regional Relief Fund to Address Local Needs

FFTC's Regional Relief Fund was created to help our communities recover when disaster or crisis disrupts daily life. This fund supports trusted local nonprofits providing essential needs such as food and shelter, as well as relief and recovery services. You can donate by credit card on our website or make a transfer from your donor advised fund to the Regional Relief Fund (4418) on MyFFTC.


Support nonprofits focused on food security or nutrition

Below are several suggested 501(c)3 organizations that are on-the-ground helping to feed our neighbors. To make a contribution to any of these organizations from your FFTC Donor Advised Fund, visit MyFFTC or contact our Donor operations team at support@fftc.org or 704.973.4529.

  • Support at Local Farmers Markets
    • Throughout November, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Food Policy Council and Mecklenburg County Public Health are offering a temporary SNAP incentive at participating farmers markets. SNAP recipients who present their EBT card can receive $50 in market tokens, helping families stretch their food dollars when it matters most.
