Baconco Cares

We strongly believe in giving back to the communities that have given us so much as we’ve grown. Through our Baconco Foundation, Baconco has given aid and support to hundreds of individuals and groups over the past quarter century.

Baconco supports these organizations both monetarily and with the time, care and love of our founders and employees through volunteer work. We are committed to supporting those in need both here and abroad, and devote special attention to our stores’ surrounding communities – the Greater Charlotte Area, Asheville, NC and Gaffney, SC.

Our greatest hope is to do the most good we can while inspiring others around the world to do likewise. Here are just a few of the key philanthropic projects that Baconco has either assisted or founded.
