Funding Available for Rural & Small Community Outreach
CRA Providing Assistance for Printing & Distribution
CRA is thrilled to announce we will be offering grants for the printing and distribution of recycling outreach materials in rural and small communities! Our goal is to help reduce contamination and increase participation in these community recycling programs!
Over the past few years we have heard from many small communities and haulers that there is a great need for financial assistance to reach their residents with anti-contamination and proper recycling information, and we are answering that call for help. The Carolina Recycling Association (CRA) has been awarded a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to assist rural and small community residential commingled or source separated recycling programs in North and South Carolina. The purpose of this grant is to fund the purchase and distribution of education and outreach materials for these communities in order to help educate citizens on what can be recycled in their respective communities and to combat recycling contamination. Applicants should carefully read the entire application before completing.
Application Due Date:
Applications will be accepted until 5:00 pm on Friday, May 14, 2021.
Eligible Entities:
- Rural local governments, defined as counties, municipalities, councils of governments and solid waste authorities in North and South Carolina.
- Private or nonprofit haulers that provide recycling collection services to rural communities.
- Programs offering residential curbside collection or county convenience center drop-off recycling programs.
- For the purpose of this grant, a rural community as defined by USDA has a population of 10,000 or less.

No cost due to sponsor support
Speaker(s): Esteban Guzman
Co-Sponsor(s): Henderson County Chamber of Commerce, Brevard/Transylvania Chamber of Commerce
Webinar info forthcoming
Hey Asheville women! Are you a coder, a developer, a designer, an architect of information? This is a group for Asheville women in tech who want a collaborative and supportive space to bring projects to workshops, participate in tutorials facilitated by other members, spark new ideas, write practice code, and develop cool stuff. Maybe (like me) you’re just getting started, and you wish you could bounce ideas off someone, or just ask them how to center that block of text on the page? You should come! We’ll work it out together. Or maybe you’re a veteran web developer who thinks rookies are brave (possibly foolish) souls with no idea what they’re getting into? Please come tell us all the things you wish someone had told you! Let’s skill-share, meet other women in the biz, learn new things, and give each other a leg up!
We’re on Slack!

Homeward Bound has been using the housing first model since 2006 to move people out of homelessness. Since then, Homeward Bound has housed over 2,230 individuals with an 89% retention rate.
Do you see people who are homeless in our community? Do you really understand their challenges? COVID-19 has had a devastating impact, possibly increasing homelessness by as much as 40% and making it more critical than ever for us to see, hear, and respond to this growing crisis.
Learn about Homeward Bound’s efforts to end this crisis during our FREE virtual Event to End Homelessness on May 12th at noon. The program will include updates from Executive Director Meredith Switzer, a film by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Katie Damien, a performance by spoken word poet Nonnie Egbuna, a song by local artist and Jubilee! World Beat Band member Paula Hanke, and more.
This free event will be live-streamed on Homeward Bound’s Facebook and YouTube pages.
Register below to receive updates and reminders leading up to the event!
