Why Local Matters: Strengthening Asheville After Helene
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Asheville’s resilience has shone through. From local businesses rebuilding to neighbors lending a hand, the power of community has been inspiring. But as we look toward the future, the choices we make today will define how strong Asheville becomes tomorrow.
At Lone Bird Studio, we’ve always believed that local businesses are the backbone of a thriving community. They’re more than storefronts or services—they’re friends, neighbors, and families who bring life and character to Asheville. Supporting local doesn’t just help businesses recover; it builds a stronger, more connected community for everyone.
Why Local Matters More Than Ever
Local businesses create jobs, support families, and drive Asheville’s unique culture. They’re also more likely to reinvest in the local economy, whether by hiring locally, sourcing materials, or contributing to community events.
After Helene, many of these businesses face unprecedented challenges. Supporting them now can mean the difference between survival and closure. Every dollar spent locally helps create a ripple effect, funding essential services, sustaining jobs, and fostering resilience.
Ways to Build a Stronger Asheville
Here’s how you can help ensure Asheville’s future is bright:
- Shop Local First: Whether it’s groceries, gifts, or services, consider local options before heading to larger chains.
- Collaborate Locally: If you’re a business owner, partner with other local businesses for promotions, events, or shared resources.
- Spread the Word: Share your positive experiences with Asheville businesses on social media or leave reviews.
