Bringing solace and Hope to Western North Carolina

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, many families and communities in Western North Carolina are facing unimaginable challenges. Schools are closed, families are displaced, and the sense of normalcy has been disrupted for thousands of children. At the World Bridge Foundation, we recognize how important it is to provide stability, hope, and creative outlets for coping and healing during such difficult times.

Our newly opened center in downtown Asheville was spared from the storm’s destruction, and in such devastating times, it can serve as a hub for the community by first lifting the spirits of the children. That’s why we are launching the World Bridge Disaster Relief Program — to sustain and deliver arts and cultural programs for children, families, and students affected by the hurricane, whenever it is safe to do so. This program will provide opportunities for creative expression, learning, and connection, helping children find joy and solace through music, dance, and cultural education as their families navigate these challenging times.

Why This Program Matters

Children facing trauma and disruption need creative and emotional outlets. Our program will provide an essential space for children to process their emotions and find healing through the arts. As families and communities recover, it's important to foster social bonds and the World Bridge Center will become a hub for gathering, connection, and mutual support during this rebuilding phase.

How You Can Help:

This program will only be possible through the generous support of individuals, businesses, and foundations. We invite you to donate to the World Bridge Disaster Relief to help us bring these crucial services to the families and children of Western North Carolina. By contributing, you can ensure that the children affected by the storm receive the support, engagement, and joy they need during this difficult time. We are all stronger together, and your donation will make a meaningful impact in the lives of many, ensuring that our programs remain a source of light in this time of darkness
