About Us

Share Thy Bread is a 501(c)(3) food pantry in Tryon, NC, dedicated to providing free food and essential services to low income and disadvantaged families since May 2014. We believe in making a difference in people's lives and impacting them for eternity. Share Thy Bread offers a well-balanced selection of food, promoting wellness for every individual in our community. Our program supports an average of 14,169 household visits which is roughly 33,809 individuals served, annually. We distribute over 306,117 pounds of food annually, to those in need, in Polk, Hendersonville, Rutherfordton, Greenville and Spartanburg Counties.

Types of Assistance

We offer food support through our TEFAP and MANNA services, ensuring that individuals and families facing hunger have access to nutritious meals when they need it most.

Services

These are the three main programs that we provide. We receive Manna truck deliveries every two weeks which enable us to provide our community neighbors with the food and nutrition that they need as well as TEFAP which helps lower income families.

T.E.F.A.P.

The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) is a federal program that helps supplement the diets of people with low income by providing them with emergency food assistance at no cost. USDA provides 100% American-grown USDA Foods and administrative funds to states to operate TEFAP.

Manna

MANNA FoodBank, a member of Feeding America, located in Mills River, North Carolina, is a private, not-for-profit service organization working to end food insecurity in the 16 counties of Western North Carolina, including the Qualla Boundary. MANNA links the food industry to over 200 partner pantries and other human service organizations to get food to thousands of families’ tables.

Community Outreach

It is important to us that our community neighbors know that we are here for them. We are willing to provide them with the produce, food and personal care items that they might have trouble purchasing for themselves. Whether at our home pantry or through one of our pop-up pantries we are ready to serve our community.
