Nominations are Open
Nominations are now open for Asheville Rising Anchor and Resilience Awards, and we’d love to hear from you.
If you know a business or organization in Asheville that stepped up after Hurricane Helene, we'd love for you to nominate them and share their story.
After the storm, businesses and organizations across our community showed up in extraordinary ways — offering shelter, resources, and hope when it was needed most. This recognition program is our way of celebrating that spirit of love, service, and strength, and making sure it doesn't go unnoticed.
Community Anchor Recognition
For a business or organization that helped hold the community down - providing support, resources, connection, stability, or a place for people to come together when it was needed most.
Community Resilience Recognition
For a business or organization that faced significant challenges or losses and demonstrated perseverance, adaptability, consistency, and determination while rebuilding and continuing to serve the community.
