Holiday Togetherness: How Asheville Stands Strong After Helene
The holidays are a time for connection, reflection, and celebration. This year, however, the season feels different in Asheville. Two months after Hurricane Helene, the lingering impact of the storm has left many businesses and families struggling to recover. But in true Asheville spirit, the community has rallied together, proving that resilience and generosity can light even the darkest times.
At Lone Bird Studio, we’ve been inspired by the stories of support and kindness that have emerged in the wake of the storm. As a local business, we know how important it is to lift one another up, especially during the holidays.
Coming Together as a Community
The challenges faced by Asheville are significant. From damaged infrastructure to ongoing economic strain, the effects of Helene are still being felt across the city. But the response from the community has been extraordinary.
Local events, fundraisers, and volunteer efforts have brought people together to support one another. From holiday markets benefiting storm relief to neighbors helping neighbors with repairs, the sense of togetherness is palpable.
How You Can Be Part of the Solution
There’s still much work to be done, and every contribution helps. Here are some meaningful ways you can support Asheville during this holiday season:
- Attend Fundraisers: Many local events are doubling as fundraisers for storm recovery. Check out craft fairs, concerts, and other gatherings that give back.
- Support Local Families: Donate to food banks, toy drives, or organizations helping families affected by Helene.
- Volunteer Your Time: Many nonprofits in Asheville need extra hands during the holidays.
- Shop Local: Support the businesses that make Asheville unique.
- Spread Positivity: Share uplifting stories of community resilience on social media to inspire others.
