A grassroots-rooted nonprofit in Asheville that pairs people with and without housing in shared action: street outreach, free street pantries, a community kitchen (La Cocina de Mama), crisis response and community-led housing. After Hurricane Helene it became a hub of neighbour-led relief and is now rebuilding homes and developing land for affordable housing.
In November 2025, during the SNAP benefits pause, it set up about 15 free street pantries across Asheville, Black Mountain and Candler. Its stated values are home, health, equity and opportunity, and it describes its work as mutual support.
