More than 1.6 million people are food insecure in North Carolina. This means they lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. Many of our neighbors also live in food deserts, areas where it’s difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.The Y is working hard to bridge this gap and provide access to our community. We began a nutrition department in 2013 to distribute healthy food, teach good nutrition habits, and do cooking demonstrations in Buncombe, Henderson, and McDowell counties.Our Healthy Living Mobile Kitchens and Mobile Market distribute fresh food along with information on how to store it and practical, cost-effective cooking lessons. We now reach more than 300 families each month.
The photography industry has gotten hit hard by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and Adobe recently responded to widespread school closures by offering students free access to its Creative Cloud. But the company is now going a step further and is apparently giving every subscriber two months of free subscription during this economic downturn.
Our team wants to help. We made a google sheet [located in our story highlights]for you to put in ANY financial need you have.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
The goal is to have the whole wedding industry come together, take a look at the sheet, and meet people’s needs.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
We remember exactly what it was like to be starting out in our business and getting through this current crisis would have been really hard for us.
⠀⠀⠀ ⠀
This isn’t a time for fear. We can all show the world what it means to “love your neighbor as yourself.” Let’s all work together and show the wedding industry what love looks like.

Please share this post so we can get all the needs met!
