The majority of the proceeds raised will go to BeLoved Asheville.
Backed by your support, BeLoved Asheville is dedicating every resource to those most affected by this disaster. Our immediate focus has been on critical necessities like food, water, and healthcare for survival and stability. As winter looms, we are securing warm and safe housing for the displaced. Looking further ahead, recovery from the vast destruction will be a large-scale investment over several years. We believe that we can unite to rebuild a community that embodies home, health, equity, and opportunity for all.
Proceeds will also support Bounty & Soul.
Bounty & Soul believes in a just and equitable food and health system and in building communities where everyone has the right to eat well, be nourished and thrive. We also support local food growers through the Farmers AllianceTM program and provide culturally aligned services for the region’s Latinx community. “The recovery phase, post-Helene, will be a marathon, not a sprint,” said Bounty & Soul Founder and Executive Director, Ali Casparian. "Generous donations not only offers hope, but also sends a clear message that the people of Swannanoa are worthy of relief and the town of Swannanoa and surrounding areas are worth rebuilding. Support will have a meaningful impact on our ability to meet the immediate, evolving and ongoing needs of the Swannanoa Valley community.”
