Dear Friends & Neighbors,In response to the devastation that Hurricane Helene brought to our community, we are businesses pledging 1% (or more) of our sales from November and December of 2024 to relief efforts in Asheville and the Western North Carolina region.Our home has long captured the world's imagination with its beauty, history, and charm. Now, we're showing another side of our character: our grit, our generosity, and our unwavering spirit.Through these investments in our neighbors, our neighborhoods, our land, and our economy, we take another step toward rebuilding. Together, we will restore the vibrant community that makes these mountains magical.#MountainStrong

Together We Are StrongerPlease join us in our commitment to rebuild Asheville and our mountain communities.As local business owners, we live and work alongside those most affected. This allows us to do something unique: rather than support a single charity, we can direct resources exactly where they're needed most, when they're needed most. Our deep roots in this community guide every dollar we invest in recovery.We know from experience that news cycles are short, and Helene's impact on our region risks becoming yesterday's story. But we refuse to let that happen. By working together, we keep our community's needs in focus and inspire others with our shared journey of recovery. After all, the most powerful stories are the ones we write together.Our Commitment
1% (or more) of November and December sales donated as funding to recovery efforts (of your choice) in Asheville and the surrounding Western North Carolina communities.
Sharing a recap and documentation of your support by January 5th 2025 so we can tell the story of our collective impact.
How We Will Support Each Other
Mutual support of telling the story of our commitment and its impact through our various communication channels (social, PR, website, etc).
