We are incredibly grateful to live in a community with so many organizations who rise to meet the challenges we face, knowing that together we are stronger and united are are most resilient. The continued threat of COVID has created quite a heavy lift of obstacles for us all, especially the most vulnerable in our communities.

Meet a few Companies who Volunteered Their Time in Community

We're excited to share a handful of the incredible volunteers who show up in our community, giving their time, talent, and care in service of their fellow neighbors, in support of building a stronger community. It is through this process of showing up, in both small and big ways, that our communities our woven and re-woven stronger. And at United Way, that is what we call Living United. During National Volunteer Week, April 18-24, we want to thank all of the volunteers who show up to share their time as they're able. 

The recent mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder serve as all too familiar examples of the destructive power of racism and gun violence on our communities. United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County unequivocally condemns these acts of violence and the racism and bigotry that fuel them. We grieve for the senseless loss of life and stand in solidarity with the families and community members affected by these tragedies.
