At Black Mountain Tailgate Market, we know good things start small - like the seeds we plant every season. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission of nourishing our community in a time of economic uncertainty. While the future of federal funding for food access programs looks dim, we learned a few valuable lessons about the power of community after Hurricane Helene. When people come together, miracles can happen. Together, we can create a bountiful, beautiful future for all! How you can help power our mission: [Donate](http://tinyurl.com/feedwnc): Every dollar counts. Contribute now to help us reach our goal. [Share](https://www.facebook.com/BMTMarket/): Share our campaign with your friends, family, and on social media. Your advocacy can amplify our impact. [Volunteer](https://blackmountainmarket.org/volunteer?hsLang=en): Consider donating your time to volunteering at the market in 2026. Thank you for supporting our mission. Your support is invaluable.
