– The Blood Connection (TBC) and Blood Assurance, two local blood centers in the Southeast, have announced they are participating in a friendly competition to increase blood donations in honor of veterans. The “Give Because They Gave First” promotion, which benefits the Blood Centers of America(BCA) Special Forces Wounded Warrior Fund (SFWWF), will run November 10-12 at TBC Donation Centers, ending on Veterans Day. For every blood donor who gives at a center, TBC will donate $10 to the SFWWF and blood donors will receive a $10 VISA card as a thank you.
The blood centers will compete to see which blood centers’ donors can donate the most blood
during the promotion.

This year the Asheville Area Arts Council is offering $500 micro-grants for arts-based projects specifically focused on community hope and healing. These can be projects that bring joy to our local community, and/or projects that actively engage community members in safe activities following state and local health restrictions.
Arts and culture are a fundamental part of our community. They help us connect with one another and better understand history, people, and new ideas. When people become involved in the design, creation, and upkeep of places, they develop a vested interest in using and maintaining these spaces. When neighbors have a true sense of “ownership” or connection to the places they frequent, the community becomes a better place to live, work, and visit. According to Americans for the Arts (AFTA), “86% of participants who took part in community-based art want to be involved in future projects, and people living where these art projects occurred were more than twice as likely to be civically engaged as those whose neighborhoods did not have projects.”

| Explore Asheville recently partnered with staff at the county, city, Asheville Area Arts Council, and the Asheville Art Museum on a new campaign to encourage residents and visitors to follow health and safety procedures. The selected design is by local artist Will Hornaday of Hornaday Designs.

There is a heavy correlation between domestic violence and addiction. Both perpetrators and victims have high rates of substance use disorder or admit to abusing substances in the past year. It can also be very difficult for victims of domestic violence to seek help for their addiction. According to SAMHSA, more than 60% of women seeking drug or alcohol treatment claim their abuser tried to prevent them from going to treatment. Domestic violence and addiction are two complicated issues that often overlap.
Some statistics to help illustrate this fact include:
