Educators - Community Nights Are For You Too!

Are you, or have you ever been, a teacher? Are you passionate about education and community building? This story is for you.

On an almost weekly basis, something pretty cool happens here in Buncombe County. Local families with K-12 kids can come to one of seven local schools and be a part of Community Nights (featuring Homework Diners). Free to all, families can enjoy a healthy meal, get academic support,  tap into some local community resources, and build relationships with other families and educators.

Advocacy Message from Angela Williams, President and CEO of United Way World Wide

 

United Way Worldwide is currently advocating in support of the HELP Act. This is a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would provide capacity-building resources for 988 and 211 to connect more vulnerable individuals and families to local resources. 211, which United Way helps to manage, connected more than 18 million people in need to critical resources last year alone.
