“Hands on Carolina Christmas” aims to provide essential supplies, comfort items, and holiday joy to seniors, young families, and those in rural communities impacted by Hurricane Helene. This campaign offers both immediate relief supplies and personal touches, like holiday gifts and messages of encouragement, to uplift spirits and support basic needs during a difficult time.

Spread Hope
This holiday season, consider brightening a senior’s day by visiting one of Western North Carolina’s assisted living communities. Many elderly residents experience loneliness, particularly during the holidays, and your presence can make a meaningful difference. Share stories, play games, or simply listen – these moments create lasting connections that enrich both visitors and residents alike. Your visit could be the highlight of someone’s holiday season and help foster valuable intergenerational bonds in our mountain community.
At ASHF, we are redefining access to affordable senior care and setting new standards for quality, compassion, and innovation in underserved communities. Our commitment is to provide sustainable long-term care and cultivate thriving communities where seniors can live with dignity, purpose, and joy.
