Last Sunday, the team enjoyed putting together care bags for folks who are passing through town. Asheville has so much transient traffic. A lot of this is due to having major highways that run North, South and East to West. It is also well known among the transient crowd as a sure place to receive 3 meals a day and shelter. Mom Morton came across this idea of care bags for those we come across on the streets. She got together a handful of items that an individual may need for a day: snacks, new socks, a personalized note, stationary and a stamp to help them contact a loved one. We will continue to add to the stash with things like toothbrushes, bottled water, a list of resource centers in the area, etc...
We are happy to provide a little assistance and hopefully loads of encouragement as we encounter people passing through!
