Our Nation's Grief, Our Grief
United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County has long believed that Live United means fighting for the hopes, dreams, and rights of all people. But for too long, inequity, violence, and racism have been allowed to go unchecked violating the lives of People of Color. This grief is on full display across our nation and here, in our community. That’s why we must act.
Be Counted: Take The Census
Every 10 years, the US government conducts a count of the people in our country. This count is CRUCIAL to many aspects of our community. The count is used in the allocation of billions of dollars in federal funding for so many things we take for granted: schools, hospitals, fire departments, and roads among other things.
The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts.

Community Update 5/14
It’s been approximately 3 1/2 months since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global health emergency. During that time we — as individuals, communities, and organizations — have learned many lessons.
There is no doubt that this crisis has further exposed the divides that poverty and inequality create and it has also revealed what works.
