HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF

SUPPORT THE CRAFT COMMUNITY RECOVERING FROM THE DISASTER OF HURRICANE HELENE 

Our hearts are with those impacted by Hurricane Helene, especially those in Western North Carolina, home to many of our partner organizations, artists, and makers. 

At our recent Annual Member meeting, we were joined by Stephanie Moore, the Executive Director for Center for Craft located in Asheville, NC, and Cameron Lewis, the Director of Grants, Programs, and Training at CERF+, who discussed ways you can support those who have been greatly impacted. 

Here you will find a compiled list of their resources and links for donation, as well as other resources from our community.
