Our chapter has a great history of performing meaningful service to our community...here is a sample of our recent contributions. Thank you all!
2025
- Transformation Village - Several members of our Chapter were honored to attend the opening of the shade structure at Transformation Village on June 25th. Our Chapter was a significant contributor to this project and our member, Teresa Lee, led the effort to make it happen. Cornerstone Building Brands was proud to be able to provide a donated structure, a 21’ x 155’ open structure for the women and children to gather, play, etc. This is an upgrade to the existing facility as there was no place outside to be in the shade prior to this project. After weathering Helene, navigating the permitting process, and rallying volunteers to bring it all together, they finally had their open house ceremony on Wednesday, June 25th. The kids that live there were so excited and there was chalk art all over the sidewalk. Thanks to all our participants for your generosity!

2024
- Donation to BeLoved Asheville - A $2,000 donation was made by our chapter in late October to fund the Helene relief efforts that this organization is doing for our community. More information about BeLoved Asheville can be found here.
- Charity Golf Tournament for Transformation Village - Our league hosted 68 members and guests on September 8 at our home course for our annual Member Guest Tournament. On a beautiful September afternoon the participants generously donated funds for the Putting Contest, Mulligans, and Raffle, and purchased over 15 items in our Silent Auction. As a result, on 10/29 8 members of our league attended a ceremony to present Transformation Village with a check for $6500. Thanks to all our participants for your generosity!

- Manna Foodbank - Fifteen energetic members of our league donated their morning on August 26 at Manna Foodbank. They sorted through many stacks of bread and culled many cases of zucchini, all important tasks to help others in need. More information about the Manna Food Bank can be found here.
- Eblen Charities - On August 14 our league chapter donated 141 backpacks to school children in the greater Asheville area. They were very happy to receive our donation! Cheri K. got to participate in the distribution and see the happy faces of the children who received them. Thanks to all of you who contributed. As of midday that day, Eblen had provided supplies to more than 500 school children. More information about Eblen Charities can be found here.
- Manna Food Bank - On July 9 our league chapter donated over 100 non-perishable food items to the Manna Food Bank, adding to the over 300 items donated during the 2023 season. Thanks to all of you for your generosity to help end food insecurity in the Asheville Area. More information about the Manna Food Bank can be found here. We will also be gathering as a team on August 26 to volunteer our time on one of the shifts in the warehouse.
