On Tuesday, October 15th, Troyers and Friends will be providing breakfast at 8:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM, and supper at 5:00 PM at the new Mitchell Elementary/Middle School. They will not be able to take call-ahead orders, as this will be first-come, first-served. They successfully served nearly 850 plates tonight, so try to arrive as close to the allotted times as possible. Also, please enter off of 226, circling around the front of the building and continuing to the back of the building for pickup. They will continue serving until the food runs out. The cooking is delicious, and we hope you stop by and enjoy!

We urge you to follow the Mitchell County NC Government and Michell County Emergency Management pages. We will try to share community updates when possible, but like everyone else, we don't have cell service unless we go outside the area.

Please stay safe and monitor this weather event!


The Mitchell High School football game has been rescheduled from Friday until tomorrow night at 7:00pm.
