Asheville JCC shares gratitude amidst hurricane recovery
“In the aftermath of the worst natural disaster we have faced in over 100 years, it is both comforting and humbling to be picked back up by our Jewish community 500 miles away,” shared Ashley Lasher, Asheville JCC Executive Director. Federation’s relief funds enabled the Asheville JCC to deliver basic supplies to their community when Hurricane Helene isolated Asheville. Today, Asheville JCC is implementing “early childhood safe spaces” to provide trauma-informed programming for families with young children as they process the aftermath of the hurricane.
