Bridging The Gaps organizes to ensure that the most marginalized members of our community are being connected with necessary supplies and support in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on Asheville and Buncombe County.

We are a collaborative initiative of YMI Cultural Center, The People’s Place, Noir Collective AVL, JD Ellison & Co, OG Synergy, OURavl, and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ).

Want to Donate or Volunteer?

We are operating out of YMI’s physical space and are actively receiving and organizing donated goods to be redistributed to the most marginalized members of our community in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We are mobilizing to address the most immediate needs and also preparing to address the additional challenges our community faces in the months to come. Our top (though not exclusive) priority is ensuring the safety of Black community members.
