Luncheon Program

In the last four years alone, Homeward Bound has grown significantly. We launched our Home is Key Capital Campaign, opened Compass Point Village, and expanded our housing and homeless services programming to meet the needs of our community. None of this progress would have been possible without the individuals, initiatives, businesses, and fellow nonprofits who also call WNC home. With that in mind, we want to give our supporters a clear view of what our community has accomplished through this year’s program, which includes: 

A new film by Katie Damien of Angry Unicorn Entertainment that emphasizes the importance of relationships in our work, and “Solving Homelessness Together,” a conversation between strategy leaders on how we can respond to the state of homelessness in WNC post-storm and at a national level.

Speakers include: 

  • Simon Dwight, CEO, Homeward Bound of WNC
  • Emily Ball, Homeless Strategy Division Manager, City of Asheville
  • Andrew Yavorski, Program Officer Human Services, The Leon Levine Foundation
