The “Welcome Home” Tour (9:30 am – 10:30 am): The Welcome Home Tour takes you through the Welcome Home Donation Center, where all our donated items are collected, organized, and distributed to individuals and families moving out of homelessness and into housing, as well as to individuals who visit the AHOPE Day Center. You’ll see how our Welcome Home team is able to turn any four walls into a fully-furnished and comfortable home thanks to items donated from generous community members, faith groups, and businesses from all over.

The “Hope Leads Home” Tour (10:30 am – 11:30 am): This tour takes you through Compass Point Village, the largest permanent supportive housing facility in Buncombe County, and the AHOPE Day Center, our homeless services hub in downtown Asheville. Experience the remarkable transformation at Compass Point Village, where over 85 individuals who once faced chronic homelessness now thrive in a place they can call home. Then, visit AHOPE, where you’ll see how its services provide a supportive starting point for individuals as they begin their journey toward housing, with access to vital resources like showers, meals, internet access, a mailing address, and on-site case management.

Tour All Three Centers! (9:30 am – 11:30 am): Take a tour of all three centers, starting at Welcome Home and finishing at the AHOPE Day Center.
