Free Food Delivery in Concord NC — How Solo Faith Is Reaching Families Who Can't Get to a Pantry

Most food pantries are built around one assumption: that families can come to them.
For a significant percentage of households in Concord and Cabarrus County, that assumption is wrong.
Transportation is invisible until it isn’t. When you don’t have a car, the bus doesn’t run near the pantry, or you’re a single parent with no way to get across town — the pantry might as well not exist. The food is there. The family needs it. The last mile is the problem.
Solo Faith Church exists to solve that problem.
The Scale of the Problem in America
Food insecurity in the United States is not a distant statistic. According to the USDA Economic Research Service, 13.7% of U.S. households were food insecure at some point during 2024 — representing approximately 18.3 million households struggling to put food on the table.
But supply is rarely the only problem. According to data from U.S. Hunger, 42.6% of individuals seeking food assistance report they do not have access to transportation to reach grocery stores. The Urban Institute found that 24% of adults accessing charitable food cited transportation difficulties as a barrier in 2024.
The Model: Food That Comes to You
Solo Faith Church operates as a master account holder in the DoorDash Project Dash program — a social impact initiative that puts DoorDash’s driver network to work for nonprofit food delivery. Project Dash has now facilitated more than 125 million meals through 7 million deliveries to partner organizations across the U.S.
Through this partnership, Solo Faith coordinates food delivery across multiple distribution sites in Cabarrus County. Food is sourced through community partners and routed to neighborhood distribution points — churches, community centers, and businesses — where DoorDash drivers complete the final delivery leg to registered households.
No car required. No bus route needed. Just food, delivered.
The $10 Equation
Here is what makes Solo Faith’s model unique: $10 delivers food to one household facing a transportation barrier.
That number is documented and operational — not a marketing estimate. It reflects the real cost of one household delivery through our DoorDash Project Dash infrastructure in Cabarrus County. This clarity of impact is what drives both donor trust and operational accountability at Solo Faith.
