Bounty & Soul is a community-based nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people with fresh produce, wellness education, and fostering community connections in the Buncombe County area. They operate pop-up produce markets and provide wellbeing education to promote health and sustainability.
In response to challenges faced by the community, Bounty & Soul initiated the "Love Notes" project, where volunteers craft handwritten messages of encouragement to include in produce boxes. These small gestures have made a significant impact, reminding recipients that they are cared for and supported. The initiative has grown, with community members expressing deep appreciation for the heartfelt notes accompanying their fresh produce.
Babies Need Bottoms is a nonprofit diaper bank serving families in need across Western North Carolina. Established in 2017, their mission is to improve the lives of babies, toddlers, and parents through diaper distribution, community awareness, and partnerships.
They collaborate with over 50 community-based organizations to distribute diapering supplies, addressing the essential need for clean diapers—a necessity not covered by federal assistance programs. To support their cause, individuals can donate funds, diapers, or volunteer their time.
For those seeking diaper assistance, Babies Need Bottoms provides resources to connect families with social service agencies that can help.
