Blue Ridge Humane Society is partnering once again with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty Animals (ASPCA) Spay/Neuter Alliance in Asheville to provide a free pet food giveaway to those in need or affected by COVID-19, on Tuesday, June 2, from 9am-1pm at the Blue Ridge Humane Society storage facility located at 802 S. Grove Street in Hendersonville, NC. Cat and dog food will be distributed first come, first serve, as supplies last. Social distancing and protective measures will be taken by all staff and we ask the public to do the same (contact free, wear a mask, and keep a 6ft distance).
Food is provided through part of the ASPCA’s Relief and Recovery Initiative, which has included the creation of regional pet food distribution centers provided in partnership with the Petco Foundation, to give dog and cat owners free access to critical food supplies as the outbreak continues to spread. During the first distribution in May over 250 pets were fed with food provided through the partnership.
Blue Ridge Humane has increased pet food distribution to local partner food banks in response to needs due to COVID-19 and is grateful for the support of the ASPCA to extend resources to those in need through another channel.
The Blue Ridge Humane Society, Inc., is a 501(c)3 animal welfare organization started in 1952 dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of life for animals in Henderson County and our neighboring communities. BRHS cares for pets awaiting adoption at the Adoption Center; offers low-cost vaccine clinics, animal education programs, pet training classes, and youth education and projects; coordinates community pet food assistance, emergency vet assistance, and the Spay Neuter Incentive Program (SNIP), which is a collaboration with Henderson County, the City of Hendersonville, and the Henderson County Animal Services Center.

Starting Friday June 5, at 8 a.m., Buncombe County Public Libraries will have 24 hours of local authors, librarians, essential workers, and familiar faces reading some of their favorite children’s books to kick off summer reading fun. Although we’re reading children’s stories, this event is to remind everyone to continue reading and creating throughout the summer months.
We’ll have different readers every hour, and in some cases on the half hour; featuring Wiley Cash, Alan Gratz, Bobbie Pyron, Ted E. Tourist, Asheville Fire Department, County Manager Avril Pinder, County Commissioner Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, multiple officers from the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office, nationally renowned musician Tashi Dorji, our friends from LEAF, and all your favorite children’s librarians.
We’re reading all day and all night and you’re welcome to join us on Zoom anytime. Register on the library event calendar to get the password. Stay tuned for the schedule of readers on Facebook and the library events calendar.
