We are a collective of residents, small business owners, and farmers working with the Black Mountain Tailgate Market to provide immediate and long-term support for our wide community of neighbors in and around the greater Swannanoa Valley region. We are raising emergency funds to support families, neighborhoods, and farms in our community with the greatest needs.
Our goal is to fill in the gaps by providing hands-on and monetary support to individuals, families, and local organizations after Hurricane Helene’s devastating impact on our beautiful Appalachian Mountains.
Funds allocation will prioritize our community’s hardest hit farm, rural and makers families. Initial Goal $150,000:
– FARM REPAIRS / ASSISTANCE 50%
– SMALL BUSINESS / PRODUCER SUPPORT 10%
– FAMILY SUPPORT GENERAL 13%
– AT RISK FAMILY SUPPORT: RURAL / MIGRANT 13%
– PAY IT FORWARD 13% Program” which will ensure that delicious, locally grown goodness makes its way to hungry bellies
Your donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward providing aid to the hardest hit farm and rural families in our valley.
With all of our love and gratitude,
The Black Mountain Tailgate Market Family
