Homeward Bound of WNC ends homelessness by moving people into permanent housing, and providing the support they need. 89% of the people we've moved into housing are still housed. We receive public and private funding to do our work. If you'd like to be part of the solution, please visit our website and donate today! https://www.homewardboundwnc.org/donate

Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe

Last night, Bobbie Pyron launched her incredible tale “Stay” at Malaprop's Bookstore/Cafe and Homeward Bound Homeless Services Director Nicole Brown joined her.

Bobbie became inspired to write the book “Stay” after seeing a woman who was homeless, panhandling with her dog. The look on the woman’s face was one of anguish and pain and the look on the dog’s face was contentment and happiness. This image stayed with her until she was compelled to write the book.

AHOPE is a welcoming place for anybody and everybody, including those with animal companions. We're always in need of dog & cat food and treats. If you would like to donate, please feel free to drop items off at AHOPE (19 N Ann Street) during open hours or order directly through our Amazon Wishlist at bit.ly/ahopewishlist
