If you or someone you know is interested in donating goods, neighborhood and mutual aid groups are all working to distribute resources to the community.
On a larger scale and for a more long-term response, Asheville City, Buncombe County, and United Way are working to set up systems to get goods to our most vulnerable communities through our local partners.
