As an individual and family shelter in West Asheville, Safe Shelter partners with community organizations to provide wraparound support for our guests in securing permanent housing and any other things they made need. Building relationships is at the heart of what we do and taking care of our shared living spaces is an important aspect of sustaining those relationships. One of the weekly projects we lead is a Community Clean-Up of our neighborhood.
Community Clean-ups occur every Tuesday from 1-2pm around West Asheville. Free parking and supplies are provided and individuals or groups are welcome.
