United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County hit a home run during April, National Volunteer Appreciation Month, with their unforgettable Volunteer Appreciation Event at McCormick Field. Bringing together the most dedicated users of Hands On Asheville/Buncombe and the incredible organizations they support, the event was a grand slam of community spirit.
Oriya Hunt, an A.C Reynolds Middle Schooler carries with her a profound understanding of empathy and a keen awareness of the challenges faced by her peers.
When a volunteer event has reached the 11th hour, and the hard work to show up for our community is all that is motivating the work happening there is one group that United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County will always call. FIRST at Blue Ridge, lives up to their name of “first”.
As we find ourselves in the midst of 2024, a critical election year, the importance of civic engagement has never been clearer. While voting is fundamental to our democracy, engaged individuals can go beyond the ballot box to make a meaningful impact. Fortunately, resources are available to guide and empower citizens in their pursuit of active participation.
Enka Middle's Resource Room Revamp was an enormous success, thanks to Retire United's dedicated efforts! With a staggering 64.5 collective volunteer hours, you transformed the space into a clean, cozy hub for students, community partners, and Ginny, the Community School Coordinator. Your impactful work demonstrates the power of collaboration and community involvement.
