Thank you, David McCartney! As a former Homeward Board member and generous spirit, you’ve continued to help Homeward Bound provide vital services, such as showers at our AHOPE Day Center. Because of the generosity of Kimpton Hotel Arras AC Hotels by Marriott Asheville Downtown, Homeward Bound can continue to provide more than 1,200 showers/month to folks experiencing homelessness. ✨✨ Even with this incredibly generous gift from Asheville’s top hotels, Homeward Bound is always in need of more towels. Please consider donating in this time of need. Contactless donations can be dropped off at 205 Elk Park Drive, or ordered online through bit.ly/homewardboundwishlist 💗💗

In response, Homeward Bound has moved to ‘Creating Home’ by purchasing Key Commons, a 13-unit apartment complex 🏘, hiring Santiago Cely to be our Facilities and Housing Development Director🧍‍♂️, and so much more. So, thank you sponsors Katie Button Cúrate Button & Co.
