Building together for 40 years
Since incorporating on February 11, 1983, thousands of local adults and children have benefitted from AAHH’s affordable Homeownership and Home Repair Programs. Each home build and home repair project has been an exercise in partnership. Volunteers, donors, advocates, homeowners, and ReStore supporters – folks of various religions, ethnicities, socio-economic classes, and political beliefs – unite around a shared vision and build homes, communities, and hope.
We are grateful to all who have been part of the journey thus far. And we invite new partners to our work. There is still much work to be done, and it will take all of us

What better way to celebrate Earth Day than to help Buncombe County beautify its parks? The 2023 Earth Day cleanup is a volunteer day for community members, schools, clubs, organizations, businesses, etc to engage in a hands-on way to clean up various parks throughout Buncombe County in preparation for increased use as warm weather amps up.

The event is Saturday, April 22 (Earth Day) from 9 a.m.-noon. The tasks volunteers can help with include litter pickup and landscaping. The litter pickup would include cleaning up trash and debris from along roadways, walking paths, entrances to parks, and wooded areas. The landscaping opportunities include:
- Trimming limbs and shrubs
- Planting flower plugs and other small plants and bushes along buildings and picnic shelters, park entrances, in garden areas and on embankments
- Rejuvenating garden areas with wildflower seeds and plugs, and watering plants, clearing brush
- Removing fallen limbs, overgrowth from pathways planted areas,
- Removing invasive species from choking out native species in some areas.
Volunteer groups are limited in capacity by location and volunteers can choose which park and task they would like to be involved with. Volunteers will be provided materials such as gloves, litter pickers, trash bags, loppers, shovels, shears, watering cans, seedlings, bulbs, shrubs, flowers, safety vests, etc. Registration is available on Simpletix and is set to be active March 15-April 15.
Join Ali McGhee and Tara Eschenroeder for this special Earth Day adventure!
About the adventure…
Earth my body, water my blood, air my breath, and fire my spirit!
We are surrounded by so much beauty that we so often overlook as we are distracted by so many things to do and tasks to accomplish. We forget that we are human beings (not human doings) grounded in place and inherent, effortless purpose.
This hike will excite our senses and our minds as we gather deep wisdom about area plants and discover their powerful potential. On our journey up the mountain, we’ll meet several of our local and native plant species and learn their medicinal and magical uses, from healers that help us reconnect with the land – and ourselves – to a few storied (and poisonous) allies.
At the top of the majestic Bearwallow bald, we will share a meditation on the land and flow together in asana, then celebrate with fresh herbal tea brewed from plants we’ve met. Not only will we interact and commune with nature, but we will also come together as a beautiful community celebrating new friends and old.
This adventure is limited to 20 participants.
We can’t wait to share this experience with you!
