Community Resources for Food, Meals & Essentials
As the federal government shutdown continues, USDA has instructed NC to suspend the issuance of November 2025 Food and Nutrition Services benefits. Counties will continue to accept Food and Nutrition applications, complete recertifications and react to reportable changes. We understand how concerning this can be, but please know that many wonderful nonprofits across Henderson County have prepared to help — with food, meals, diapers, wipes, and other essential items available for families in need.
See list below for a complete list of local resources. The federal shutdown does not affect the day-to-day operations of our FNS staff, who continue processing applications, recertifications, and assisting residents with any questions or concerns. Henderson County remains committed to supporting our community during this time.

Recursos de Apoyo Local: Alimentos, Comidas y Artículos Esenciales
Mientras continúa el cierre del gobierno federal, el USDA ha instruido a Carolina del Norte a suspender la emisión de los beneficios de Servicios de Alimentos y Nutrición correspondientes a noviembre de 2025. Los condados seguirán aceptando solicitudes de alimentos y nutrición, completando recertificaciones y respondiendo a cambios que deban reportarse.. Entendemos que esta situación puede ser preocupante, pero queremos que sepa que muchas organizaciones sin fines de lucro en todo el Condado de Henderson están preparadas para ayudar — ofreciendo alimentos, comidas, pañales, toallitas y otros artículos esenciales para las familias que lo necesiten.
Vea la lista a continuación para obtener una lista completa de los recursos locales.
El cierre del gobierno federal no afecta las operaciones diarias de nuestro personal de FNS, quienes continúan procesando solicitudes, recertificaciones y brindando asistencia a los residentes con cualquier pregunta o inquietud.
El Condado de Henderson sigue comprometido a apoyar a nuestra comunidad durante este tiempo.
