The Power of 35
You could keep a mother's lights on.
A new mother was hours away from delivering her baby into a dark house. One phone call changed that.
That is the power of $35.
Right now, your neighbors need help.
There are families in Western North Carolina one payment away from eviction. Parents choosing between the electric bill and dinner. More people than ever are one emergency away from losing everything.
For 35 years, Eblen Charities has stepped in with practical, immediate help for individuals and families across our region. Last year alone, we served 9,748 families, distributed 800 Thanksgiving meals, and gave out 10,835 coats and winter clothing items. Since Hurricane Helene, we have provided more than $5 million in recovery assistance.
GIVE
Join the 35 for 35 campaign.
$35 keeps the lights on. $350 helps prevent eviction. $3,500 stabilizes a family in serious hardship.
The most powerful thing you can do is give monthly. Any amount, every month, means Eblen can say yes whenever someone walks through our door.
