The Western North Carolina Historical Association (WNCHA) is proud to participate in the American Battlefield Trust’s annual Park Day. On this day, volunteers across the country team up to clean, maintain, and learn about the history of battlefields and site associated with the American Revolution, War of 1812, and Civil War.

Our event takes place on the grounds of the Smith-McDowell House, the headquarters of WNCHA and also a site related to the American Civil War. Volunteers of all ages are welcome!

The day’s activities begin with sign-in at 9am on the patio at the rear entrance to Smith-McDowell House. Volunteers will rake leaves, pick up debris, spread mulch, weed gardens, clear dead shrubs and trees, and plant new ones (if available). We are committed to maintaining the Olmsted landscape restored for us by the Men’s Garden Club of Asheville. We are grateful for their participation.

We will provide bottled water as well as pizza, and will feature an educational speaker at lunch time. Please help us plan by registering in advance and letting us know your lunch preferences (either pepperoni or cheese pizza)

Volunteer with Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity
Apr 18 all-day
Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity

We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.

Welcome to our online volunteer calendar!

Whether sorting donations in the ReStore, hammering on the construction site, or assisting families with critical home repair, we hope you’ll find the volunteer opportunity that is right for you!

  • Our construction sites are open! Sign-up to build with us with just your email and first name. No password is required. If you need additional assistance please email Stephanie Wallace.
  • Looking to schedule a team build day? We welcome corporate and faith groups year-round. To inquire about sponsorship opportunities please email Zoe Trout.
  • Looking for ReStore opportunities? Please email Carrie Burgin.

 

  • Building together for 40 years

    Homes

    Safe, stable housing is linked to improved health, better educational outcomes, financial stability, and much more. See data below.

    Hope

    With thousands already served, those seeking stable housing can see what safe, decent housing has done for others and what it can do for them.

    Communities

    Communities are built when neighbors connect. Through our homebuyer education program, neighbors get to know each other long before move-in day.

    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
