Who we are
Cornbread & Roses (CBR) is a 2SLGBTQIA+ led and focused nonprofit dedicated to creating an inclusive and affirming space for individuals from marginalized communities in rural Western North Carolina.
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster community, celebrate diversity, and provide holistic therapeutic support to empower personal growth, resilience, and healing. We exist to fill vital gaps in services and to create community in the tradition of our Appalachian heritage, with love, joy, pride, solidarity, and good food.
CBR believes there should be “Bread for all, and roses, too!”
