Black Mountain, NC

Come out to meet and support Afghan evacuees who are living in Black Mountain/Swannanoa and surrounding areas.

We’ll work in the community garden at a retreat center, prepare and eat a meal, make plant starts for Afghan cuisine foods for the home gardens of the families, and possibly pack up regionally grown food boxes to distribute to new incoming refugee families.

This gathering is a free event and a collaboration of Cooperate WNC, Christmount, Utopian Seed Project, Catholic Charities and Lutheran Services.

With any produce or seed donations for plant starts, please contact Zev Friedman, zev@cooperatewnc.org.

Afghan families interested in joining, please contact Noele Aabye, nlaabye@ccdoc.org.

RSVP to let us know you are planning on attending here.
