We are devastated by Hurricane Helene and the impact it has had on our community. The road to recovery and repair will be long. We will be here to support our community, our agents (some of whom lost everything), our local businesses and our family and friends. Many of you have asked where resources are available for those in need, and how you can help. Here is a list of resources, as well as links to organizations with boots on the ground doing good things. This list is a work in progress, and please reach out to us if you have an organization that we could add here to help the support efforts. Asheville, we love you and are here for you! #ashevillestrong
WIFI and POWER
Please come to our North Office, located at 788 Merrimon Avenue, between the hours of 9am to 1pm if you need to recharge and connect. We don’t have water yet, but we can offer a space to connect to wifi and power your devices. We will have a water truck at this location several times during the week for water for toilet flushing. Bring your own containers. Dates and times will be posted on our marquee and updated on social media.
