The fourth annual WNC Bridge Nonprofit Community Yard Sale was a huge success!

As in previous years, the sale was held inside the estate sales showroom and warehouse. Despite the rainy weather, long lines formed at every entrance, and the crowd remained steady throughout the event.

All participants were pleased with their sales results and grateful for the awareness and exposure the event provided.

We thank you all for continuing to support our community💙

In May, we had the pleasure of hosting our Grantee Picnic celebrating the incredible work of our 2025 IMPACT Grantees. The afternoon was filled with good food, great conversation, and the opportunity to connect with so many inspiring organizations making a difference across Western North Carolina.

From basic needs and mental health to youth development, these organizations are doing meaningful work in all 18 counties of WNC. We are grateful for their partnership and proud to celebrate the impact they bring to our communities every day.

We appreciated the opportunity for our CEO Zach Levin to join the funders panel and share perspectives alongside regional partners in support of our nonprofit community.

WNC Bridge staff enjoyed spending time volunteering at MANNA FoodBank on 4/2, and even made a surprise cameo when WLOS stopped by to highlight the growing pressures local nonprofits are facing.

With demand rising and donations tightening, organizations across our region are working harder than ever to support their communities. WNC Bridge remains deeply grateful for all of our dedicated nonprofit partners who continue to show up every day for WNC. 💙
