The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) is
excited to announce the Heritage Hearth Charity Drive, a creative effort to collect hand-knit and
crocheted accessories for all ages to benefit residents of Western North Carolina (WNC)
impacted by Hurricane Helene.
As areas recover, BRNHA strives to keep WNC on the radar of those outside the region.
BRNHA will collect donations from November 11, 2024–January 20, 2025, including knit or
crochet hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and cowls. The North Carolina Voluntary Organizations
Active in Disaster (NCVOAD) will assist in connecting BRNHA to groups that can disperse
donations to those in need across WNC.
Donations can be mailed or dropped off at:
Blue Ridge National Heritage Area
c/o Heritage Hearth
31 College Place, Suite 120
Asheville, NC 28801
BRNHA welcomes participants who would like to be designated drop-off locations. If you are
interested, please contact BRNHA to collaborate. Fiber groups are encouraged to engage in
community sit-and-stitches to raise awareness of the event. Attached here is the flyer and social
media image to correlate with the event page:
