    Nearly nine months after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, our teams gathered along with MANNA FoodBank - Asheville NC, City of Hendersonville and American Red Cross to celebrate the grand reopening of our Hendersonville, N.C. store.     This reopening represents our unwavering commitment to Western North Carolina and celebrates the strength and spirit of our neighbors who have dedicated themselves to rebuilding after Hurricane Helene. We're especially grateful for our loyal customers and associates who've shown incredible patience and support throughout this journey – many of whom call Hendersonville home and were personally affected by the storm.    The emotion and community spirit we witnessed during the reopening were truly inspiring. We're honored to be back serving our neighbors with the fresh, quality products and exceptional service Harris Teeter is known for.    #HarrisTeeter #HurricaneHelene #TeamTeeter #WNC

    This past week, we were proud to welcome our second of two International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) delegations exploring the topic of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management. This remarkable group of professionals traveled from across the globe to investigate how local communities in Western North Carolina are recovering from Hurricane Helene. Throughout the program, our delegation investigated disaster response from multiple perspectives: environmental, economic, and community-based. At RiverLink Inc., they learned how urban waterways and floodplains are managed to reduce future risks. With experts from NCICS and University of North Carolina Asheville , they explored the role of weather tracking, modeling, and the importance of maintaining flexible response plans in preparing for extreme weather events. The group also met with MANNA FoodBank - Asheville NC to understand how emergency food distribution supports vulnerable populations during crises, and connected with E4E Relief to explore innovative financial response tools that support disaster-affected individuals and employees. Each meeting underscored the importance of collaboration, data-driven planning, and equitable recovery. As always, IVLP reminds us how local stories can contribute to global solutions. 🌱🌎 #IHCLY #InternationalHouse #CharlotteNc #AshvilleNC #Ashville #Charlotte #IVLP #internationalvisitorsleadershipprogram #GlobalSolutions

    CEO @ Hickory Nut Gap | Building community through agriculture

    We recently learned about cost cutting measures at the Federal government removed grant funding that helped grease the skids to get local food (including Hickory Nut Gap beef) into local school systems. We need healthy food for kids in school so Nolin and I did a video to help promote this idea. Please reach out to elected officials and let them know that this program always a good start at re-thinking how we feed our most precious resource - our kids.
