Investing in What Holds Communities Together
When disasters happen, small businesses are often some of the hardest hit. But they are also some of the places communities turn to for connection, comfort, and stability.
At Haywood Famous in Asheville, investment from partners like Western Women's Business Center and Invest Appalachia helped make this business possible before Hurricane Helene and helped strengthen its ability to weather the challenges that followed.
Long-term recovery requires more than emergency response. It requires investment in people, places, and businesses that help communities stay rooted and resilient.
