Our Building

 

For over a century, we’ve stood on a simple but profound belief: when people come together with purpose, lasting change is possible. Time and again, we’ve seen that when given the chance, individuals rise, driven by a desire to connect, to contribute, and to belong. Together, we move in pursuit of a shared vision: a united and resilient community where everyone belongs and everyone thrives. 

At United Way of Asheville and Buncombe County, we understand that real change doesn’t happen in isolation. No single person or organization can transform a community alone. That’s why collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We bring people to the table, build trust, and co-create space for collective action—because change is something we build, not something we deliver.

As we look ahead, we believe the most powerful solutions come from those who experience the challenges firsthand. That means listening to our youth, lifting community voices, and learning from our partners. Their insight shapes our path, and their leadership drives our future.
