Donor Center Asheville: Critical Need Donate Blood
Jun 4 @ 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
Donor Center Asheville

KEY FACTS: 

  • In the past few days, hospital partners are reporting they are using blood at a much higher rate than normal. When demand is high, and the supply is critically low – that is a dangerous equation for the community.
  • Because of the critically low supply, The Blood Connection (TBC) is now having to back-order blood products. This has affected 12 hospital partners so far.
  • 48% of days this month, TBC DID NOT collect enough blood to cover hospitals’ needs. For comparison, in May of 2020 (during the pandemic) TBC collected enough to cover those needs 84% of the days.
  • There is a high likelihood that TBC will have to start rationing blood by the end of the weekend.
  • Heading into a holiday weekend – hospitals are stocking up their blood supply. TBC has already not been able to provide those products.
  • The community is the ONLY solution to this dangerous problem. The blood supply for local hospitals is in the community’s hands.

Introductory conversation about food security + food justice with Abbie Young!
Jun 7 @ 5:30 pm
Online w/ Carolina Resource Center for Eating Disorders

There is so much strength in nonprofit collaboration and our work with WNC nonprofit Bounty & Soul is incredibly vital to our community as there is a clear intersection with our services.

An estimated 50.4 million people currently experience food insecurity and research has shown that prolonged periods of food insecurity may establish problematic eating patterns in both adults and children. For some of these food insecure individuals, disordered eating habits can progress into a fully developed eating disorder.

Please join Abbie on June 7th at 5:30pm – RSVP here by Noon Friday 6/4 to receive your Zoom link  for this FREE introductory conversation about food security & food justice. In this hour-long session, Abbie will discuss food insecurity statistics and basics, what food insecurity can look like, how food insecurity and security intersects the work we are doing  with eating disorders awareness & recovery, and resources & approaches to support people experiencing food insecurity.

Abbie Young, RD, LDN, RYT, CMI is a contractor with Bounty & Soul- a local food security, food justice, and community health & nutrition non-profit and an Outpatient Dietitian with Nutritious Thoughts- a group practice of Registered Dietitians who specialize in eating disorders, non-diet approaches, Health at Every Size, and more.

Local Cloth Community Space

It has been a decade-long dream for our local fiber advocacy group to independently steward our own space and now it’s happening! Join us on Saturday, June 12th from 10 am – 5pm for a day of celebration. There will have make and takes, demos, music and snacks. We invite you to stop in and reintroduce yourself.

Our new community-centered space will feature products from throughout our Blue Ridge Mountains fibershed (100 mile radius around Asheville) and bring attention to the rich offerings of our region’s designers, farmers, artists and makers. The new Local Cloth space will feature a classroom, studios, dye lab, and exhibit and retail space showcasing locally sourced items, to serve fiber artists, students, enthusiasts and the general public.

In addition to the new space, we recently launched an online marketplace, Shop Local Cloth, to support our mission to bring climate-benefitting fiber to our regions closets, gardens, and studios. We plan to expand our marketplace, with a dynamic store front in our new space, where members and passers by alike can see what our regional fiber community has to offer.

FREE EVENT! We can’t wait to see you there!
