United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County
Since its founding in 1921, United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County (UWABC) has been known as a convener — bringing together the necessary people and resources needed to tackle crucial community issues and connect people to the support they need. In order to create lasting change that improves opportunities for future generations, we're committed to working with community partners to do what no one organization can do alone.

CORE NC - Community Organized Relief Effort
It’s been nearly two months since Hurricane Helene slammed into the southern US, leaving a 500-mile path of destruction in its wake. It will be a long and difficult road to recovery for many families in North Carolina, especially those already living in poverty. With the holidays approaching, so many families are simply hoping for a safe, solid roof over their heads. Will you help make this dream a reality?
CORE is currently in North Carolina implementing our long-term recovery initiatives that include:
- Permanent roof repair, mucking and gutting, and mold suppression
- Elevating the foundations of trailer homes to avoid future flooding
- Bridging the FEMA funding gap for low-income and uninsured families
