The Problem
The issues that were presented when Hurricane Helene hit our area of Western North Carolina were disasturous and deadly, leaving countless people without resources like water, power, service, and even homes. It is going to take a lot of work and dedication to get our town and surrounding areas back to normal and recover from all the damage that we've all been through.
Our Plan
We want to help out in the best way that we can, by hosting an event to raise money. We plan to host a Valentines themed craft fair with local artisans, live music, food/bake sale, and a DIY valentine station. The goal of this project is to bring the community together for a fun event, support local artists and donate the money that we make to a recovery cause. We plan to donate to BeLoved Asheville, a non-profit organization that is doing huge work to help people who are in need, or put our money towards supporting the rebuilding of the River Arts District that was home to over 300 artists and was destroyed.
