Why Matcha Nude Is Here
Throughout the year, Matcha Nude staff and volunteers from the NC community come together with Bounty & Soul, whether that's produce distribution, food sorting, wellness education, or wherever else we're needed. On top of volunteering, 1% of all Matcha Nude proceeds are donated to Bounty & Soul.
This partnership is personal. Matcha Nude founder Samm grew up relying on public aid, including help getting food on the table, and fresh produce was often out of reach for her family. When she moved to Asheville and found Bounty & Soul, she started volunteering right away, and building a real partnership between Matcha Nude and Bounty & Soul became one of the reasons she started this company in the first place.
