Food Matters Market & Cafe will soon celebrate 10 years of growth as the store continues to serve organic, sustainable, and locally-sourced food to the Morganton community.

Grocery stores in Morganton are facing challenges with stock for the dairy, frozen, and refrigerated sections as trucks are delayed due to recent damage. Ingles remains closed indefinitely after severe damage caused by flooding from the Catawba River. Food Matters is low on water but expects a delivery on Thursday, while Aldi's refrigeration systems are operational awaiting a truck on Tuesday. Meanwhile, at the Food Lion on Burkemont Avenue, customers are limited on ice purchases and offered cash back options for debit card transactions.
