**Help FairviewStrong.org Finish Strong**

Since Hurricane Helene, FairviewStrong.org (FSO) has helped more than 30 Fairview-area families with recovery needs. Now, they’re asking for the community’s help to complete their final projects.

FSO has worked hard to make every donation count: 96¢ of every dollar spent has gone directly toward helping local families recover.

Remaining projects have become more extensive and costly than expected, including significant mold issues.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!

• Make a financial donation of any amount at FairviewStrong.org
• Donate gift cards to Ross, TJ Maxx or Marshalls for an immediate need for clothing (Drop off cards at ESCO Insurance, 1185 Charlotte Hwy, M–F, 9:30 am–3 pm. After-hours drop box also available.
• Mail donations or grants to FairviewStrong.org, P.O. Box 131, Fairview, NC
• Email gift cards to [email protected]

Every contribution helps FSO fulfill its remaining commitments to our neighbors.

**Let’s help FairviewStrong finish strong for Fairview.**

Another beloved Dolly passed away recently. This other Dolly was the dealership support dog at Harry's On The Hill Asheville, NC, in Asheville, who was loved by employees and customers.

The owners of Harry’s thought it would be a great way to honor their Dolly by hosting an adoption event, with all adoption fees covered. Check out the event if you’re looking to adopt a new doggo -- and maybe kick a few tires while you’re at it. See the shared post for full details.

Join us Saturday, September 12 from 10 AM–12 PM for Dolly’s Coffee, Cars & Canines, benefiting Asheville Humane Society and Yancey Humane Society.

Come grab a coffee, check out some cars, meet some very good boys and girls looking for their forever homes, and maybe leave with a new best friend.

And because Dolly would’ve wanted every one of them to get their chance, Harry’s On The Hill is covering ALL adoption fees during the event.

📍 Harry’s On The Hill | Asheville, NC
🗓 Saturday, September 12
⏰ 10 AM–12 PM

Come for the coffee and cars. Leave with a little more love. 🐾💗

FAIRVIEW FACE: CORY WALL

Some people don’t just live in a community. They help create it.

After Hurricane Helene, Cory Wall wanted to preserve the spirit of connection she saw among Fairview neighbors. She created Fairview Farm Fridays, a free, family-friendly gathering at Root Cause Farm with live local music, food, small businesses and community organizations.

Cory Wall Real Estate is one of the event’s sponsors, another of the many ways Cory invests in the community she calls home.

Thank you, Cory, for bringing people together and sharing your generous community spirit with Fairview. We’re proud to call you a Fairview Face!

Know someone who helps make Fairview special? Nominate a neighbor for a future Fairview Face feature. Send us a DM or email [email protected].
