Create comfort for Western North Carolina.
The days are growing shorter, the nights are chilly, and people are still navigating life post-Hurricane Helene. Handmade items can help warm bodies and comfort souls. Let’s gather around the hearth and bring warmth to our neighbors. The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area covers all of Western North Carolina, so we will work with organizations to distribute items where they are needed most.
