General Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities

Hands On Asheville - you can browse and search different opportunities to volunteer, mostly Asheville and Buncombe County. You can also present to the The Volunteer Reception Center at 50 S French Broad Ave, Asheville, NC 28801. It will be open daily from 8am-1pm. Anyone looking for a volunteer opportunity is welcome to simply go to the VRC to be assigned to a need. A variety of skills are wanted, so there should be something for everyone.

Samaritan's Purse in Mitchell and Yancey County - help with tree work, roof tarping, debris cleanup, and mud outs.

Samaritan's Purse Buncombe County - Same as above

ABCCM - this is the volunteer inquiry to fill out. They are still accepting personal/individual donations as well as "palletized" donations. Their Facebook page has an updated list of needs and recently posted a need for volunteers to help with food deliveries.
