  • Help AMOS serve Western North Carolina after the devasting impacts of Hurricane Helene with educational resources. AMOS is looking for a partner to sponsor our efforts in providing STEAM/ Activity Kits that will be distributed throughout every impacted county in Western North Carolina. These kits will be available at every active disaster recovery center and disaster resource centers.
Education is an important part of disaster recovery because it helps restore a sense of normalcy and hope and provide resources for the future. Education can also help children and communities cope with the trauma of a disaster and can have many long-term benefits. What a better opportunity to get fun educational #stem activities into families’ hands.
If you want to join the effort to bring STEM education to the children and families of WNC please reach out to info@ashevillescience.org or send a DM.

  • ❤️THANK YOU❤️THANK YOU❤️THANK YOU❤️
Thank you to everyone who dropped off Children’s supplies over the last couple days.  Donations made it to Canton, Barnardsville, Burnsville, Marshall, Waynesville, Sylva, and across Asheville. Many folks were able to walk up and get what they needed directly from us. 

Every diaper, toothbrush, wipe and coloring book mattered. Thank you all for your generosity.  Shout out to everyone who made all the runs and combined forces to help get these donations out. 

❤️Team AMOS
