Join us in a volunteer shift with Appalachian Community Relief. We will assist people in shopping for goods in their free store that opened in response to Hurricane Helene. This volunteer event is family friendly, so feel free to bring spouses, children, etc.
Join us for breakfast and table discussions about Greer Relief. Each year we invite neighbors to come together in a common goal to eliminate poverty and equip our neighbors to overcome barriers to success.
You will learn: who we are, what we do, and how YOU can get involved.
You must RSVP.
The Asheville Dream Center is organizing the summer’s largest serve day! On Saturday, June 28, hundreds of volunteers across Asheville and surrounding areas will unite for Love Our City Serve Day, a large-scale outreach initiative aimed at uplifting communities through service, celebration, and strategic partnerships.
Taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., this coordinated event spans multiple neighborhoods and includes enhanced Adopt-A-Block efforts, block parties, food distribution, and community support projects—bringing tangible help and hope to families across the region.
“This is one of the most impactful days of the year for us,” says Organization Founder, Michelle Coleman. “We’re not just doing service projects—we’re investing in long-term relationships and community transformation.”
