*In light of the growing need for food assistance in our community, we will be supporting MANNA Food Bank and ABCCM North with food collections at the Community Center.  There will be a tote on the porch where you may leave non-perishable food donations for MANNA.  Also, on the third Wednesday of each month, we will accept donations for ABCCM North.  The greatest needs are:

• Canned fruit, canned vegetables

• Canned meat, stew, soup, spaghetti

• Self-rising flour, cornmeal, sugar

• Cereal, instant grits, instant oatmeal

• Laundry detergent, dish detergent

*The Buncombe County Long-Term Recovery Group (BCLTRG) has officially launched their integrated disaster case management system for public access. This means they are now ready to receive referrals for anyone in Buncombe needing Helene recovery help through their shared intake form here: buncombeltrg.org/get-help

 

This new system brings together six partner agencies – Lutheran Family Services, Catholic Charities, Swannanoa Communities Together, Colaborativa La Milpa, United Methodist Church Committee on Relief, and the Swannanoa Resilience Hub – to coordinate integrated support for disaster-impacted households. Through this collaborative model, survivors can access personalized help with housing repairs, rebuilding funds, food assistance, counseling, and more.
