In lieu of our Annual Home for the Holidays Fundraiser event, virtual donations are encouraged to support families, the Asheville & WNC homeless population, and those in need throughout our wonderful community!

 

Homeward Bound of WNC

Homeward Bound proudly uses the best practice Housing First model to end homelessness. Housing First is a homeless assistance approach that prioritizes providing permanent housing to people experiencing homelessness. This approach is guided by the belief that people need basic necessities like food and a place to live before attending to anything less critical, such as getting a job, budgeting properly, or attending to substance use issues.

Haywood Street Congregation

Haywood Street Congregation is a church in downtown Asheville where all people, without exception,  are welcomed and affirmed of their sacred worth.

We strive to follow the example of Christ who sought relationship with individuals that others dismissed as not worthy of redemption.  We embrace diversity in the community and world, including the diversity of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, faith history, ability and disability, housed and yet-to-be housed, economic status, marital status, health status and family configurations.  Love of each Child of God is the foundation of Haywood Street.
