Nestled in the heart of Asheville, North Carolina, the Elderflower Care Community stands as a beacon of holistic care for our elderly population. With its farm-based approach, multigenerational day camp, and dedicated focus on dementia support, Elderflower has been a pillar of the community for years. However, like many in our region, they were severely impacted by Hurricane Helene, which left a trail of destruction across Buncombe County.
In the face of this adversity, Elderflower has shown remarkable resilience, working tirelessly to rebuild and continue providing their vital services. Their efforts have been buoyed by the generous support of various community members and organizations, most notably the Arby’s Foundation.
This blog post delves into the partnership between Elderflower Care Community and Arby’s Foundation, highlighting the donation that has been instrumental in their recovery process. We’ll also explore the history of Arby’s Foundation and how this collaboration epitomizes the power of community support.
Partnership Highlights
Elderflower Care Community, located in Asheville, NC, is known for its farm-based care, multigenerational day camp, and dementia support, serving seniors in Buncombe County. Recently, they faced challenges due to Hurricane Helene, which devastated the area. Arby’s Foundation stepped in with a significant donation and a donation match program, helping with Elderflower’s rebuilding efforts and ongoing operations.
This partnership is not just about financial assistance; it’s also about fostering a sense of community and mutual support. Arby’s Foundation has encouraged its employees and customers to volunteer at Elderflower, providing much-needed hands-on help in the recovery process. This holistic approach to support—combining financial aid with volunteerism—exemplifies the true spirit of community engagement.
Arby’s Foundation Background
Arby’s Foundation, established by the Arby’s restaurant chain, has a long-standing commitment to giving back to the communities it serves. Since its inception, the foundation has focused on supporting children’s health and education, partnering with hospitals and educational institutions across the country, as seen on their website Arby’s Foundation.
However, in the wake of Hurricane Helene, Arby’s Foundation recognized the need to extend its support beyond its traditional areas of focus. The storm’s impact was felt deeply in Asheville, affecting not only children but also the elderly and vulnerable populations. Thus, the foundation made a special donation to Elderflower Care Community to aid in their recovery and continued operations.
This donation is part of Arby’s Foundation’s broader mission to support communities in times of need, demonstrating their adaptability and dedication to making a positive impact wherever it’s most needed.
Community Support in Action
The partnership between Elderflower and Arby’s Foundation serves as a shining example of how businesses and non-profits can collaborate to address community needs. By stepping outside its usual focus areas, Arby’s Foundation has shown that supporting local causes, even those not directly aligned with their primary mission can have a profound impact.
This initiative has inspired other local businesses and individuals to get involved, whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word about Elderflower’s recovery efforts. The community’s response has been overwhelming, with many coming forward to offer their support in various ways.
For those interested in getting involved, Elderflower offers several volunteer opportunities, from helping with farm-based activities to assisting with administrative tasks. Additionally, donations are always welcome and can be made directly through their website or matching programs like the one offered by Arby’s Foundation.
In it Together
The partnership between Elderflower Care Community and Arby’s Foundation is a testament to the strength and resilience of our community. In times of crisis, it’s the coming together of different sectors—non-profits, businesses, and individuals—that truly makes a difference.
As Elderflower continues its recovery and rebuilding efforts, the support from Arby’s Foundation and the broader community will be crucial in ensuring that they can once again provide exceptional care to our elderly population.
