Program Updates

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, we are faced with the devastating reality that many people in Western NC have lost their homes. Those folks who have lost everything are struggling without basic shelter and safety.

Thanks to our donors and our volunteers, we have 4 bell tents available for relief housing now and we are housing 2 displaced people!

And we are actively accepting applications for temporary residence!

In addition, we are hosting relief volunteers working on a variety of relief efforts on and off-site.

We’re currently offering Relief Volunteers and Evacuees…

  • A private or shared bell tent with a bed, bedding, lighting, and fire pit.

  • 2-3 hot, healthy meals a day

  • Fresh living spring water

  • Access to power (yay!)

  • Heaters in each tent

  • Indoor hot showers

Current Fundraising Initiatives

To feed our displaced residents and volunteers, we’re doing our best to use donated and bulk food items. But it still costs us over $1,000 per week to feed our expanded community.

We want to buy more from local farms. We realize that local farmers have lost their livelihoods, and by purchasing more locally we will be solving another problem in the aftermath of this disaster.

With our fundraising goal met we’ll be able to feed families, relief volunteers, and work crews for at least another 2 months, and support local farms in doing so.

You generous donations will allow us to continue to feeding these families and the relief volunteer work crews. Thank you!
