Thanks to the Community Foundation of WNC and a Janirve SUN Grant we will be able to move forward with critical improvements to our building's HVAC system. These dollars will go a long way toward preparing our space for the return of our building tenants, community members, and our staff, as we return to full use of our facilities two years after the start of the pandemic.

Asheville, NC - March 7, 2022
If you love working in a strong team environment, have strong customer service and phone experience, computer proficiency, and enjoy interacting with a wide variety of people and situations in a respectful and kind way then United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County (UWABC) is where you need to be. The 211 Community Resource Specialist works with NC 211 and must enjoy connecting callers to community resources while holding true to UWABC’s long-term strategic vision.
As we interviewed Lex, an Owen Middle 6th grade student, in the hallway of his school, a group of his classmates headed our way, dragging some large bags filled with recycling. As they did so, one of the bags broke and, while still miked for the interview, Lex asked, “Do you need any help with that?" His classmates shared their thanks but got the situation under control and soon disappeared. The interaction was over in less than thirty seconds, and yet Lex demonstrated some of the fundamental benefits of something called Restorative Practices.
We anticipate a continuation of Homework Diners in the Spring. Stay tuned for more information.
