Buncombe County continues to distributing water. Please bring containers you can fill with water since officials only have potable water from tankers (potable water is drinking water).
Buncombe County is beginning to distribute food at these four locations as it becomes available. To start, these are mostly MREs (ready-to-eat meals).
- William W. Estes Elementary School – 275 Overlook Road, Asheville
- Sand Hill Elementary – 154 Sand Hill School Road, Asheville (Please enter via Acton Circle)
- North Windy Ridge Intermediate School – 20 Doan Road, Weaverville
- Fairview Elementary School – 1355 Charlotte Highway, Fairview
Officials are aware that many in the community cannot make it to the distribution sites, and they are working on developing a mobile distribution plan to reach those in need. Those plans will be announced as soon as possible.
The county anticipates continuing these distribution efforts in the coming days, with expanded hours and available supplies as they become available.
Assistance is also available from the City of Asheville at Pack Square Park. Drinking water will be distributed beginning at 1 pm until dark or when the supply runs out. Each person will be provided 1 gallon of water per person, with a maximum of 5 gallons per family. Each person who accesses the water distribution at Pack Square must bring their own container. For the safety of everyone involved, traffic will be directed around the park and the distribution site will be walk-up only.
