WNC Advocacy League

We help the community advocate for itself by connecting community members in need with neighbors and services. We have on staff legal advocates, mental health specialists, geriatric specialists, community liaisons, intake specialists, etc. It could be as simple as seeing to it that someone has transportation to important appointments, or an elders trash is taken out, or something like a person who may lose their home because their taxes are in arrears, or the property is in need of a major rehab. We help find help. WE connect neighbors and businesses to each other and the most vulnerable in our community. We work with Eblen Charities, Pisgah Legal Services, DSS and others as needed to ensure that our community members aren't falling through the cracks, but being looked after and cared for, with compassion. We distribute food and clothing to those who need help.We build wheelchair ramps and make homes safe. We help determine what special services are needed to improve quality of life. Most of all, we make sure that our community members know that their well-being is important.Every neighbor has the capacity to be a superhero to someone.
