Maybe for people your sister knows in the area:

From BuncombeGov:
New resources in Swannanoa.
A new Buncombe County Community Engagement Market in Swannanoa will take place on the first Mondays of the month to help address food insecurity following Hurricane Helene from 4:30-6 p.m. (or until supplies run out).

The first market is on Monday, April 7. It will be in the gravel parking lot on the east side of the Asheville Christian Academy Campus at 74 Riverwood Rd.

The BCHHS Mobile Team will be on site for free immunizations.

Notes from Swannanoa finale: After experiencing the challenges of the five months following Helene, I eagerly moved through the kaleidoscopic seasons, observing the early signs of change. I danced in the garden when I found purple dead nettle blooming, and I crowed with delight when the daffodils returned from the underworld.

Notes from Swannanoa - Part V ~ As I write this, it has been 122 days since Helene. In another week or so, I anticipate the appearance of purple dead nettle all around the land surrounding Bear Path Cottage, a bit of bright color among the browns and greens of winter.

Support for FEMA:

“Trump’s attacks on the agency weren’t shared by all. Swannanoa resident Lucy Bickers was among the several dozen people who lined a section of the main highway through the Swannanoa [a part of the Asheville Metropolitan area], along the motorcade’s route. She carried a hand-painted sign with the words ‘FEMA Helped Me.’”
