Supports the Adult Wish Tree program for adults and young adults in need across Buncombe County.

When you can't drive a car or don’t have someone to bring you the essentials you might need, it can be challenging. The Adult Wish Tree program collaborates with agencies throughout Buncombe County to support adults and adults with disabilities who lack a support network to help meet basic needs, such as clothing and personal care items. The program also reaches out to young adults in extended foster care who may not receive a gift this holiday season.
