Our Veteran Advocate, Michael Ferguson, spent yesterday at the VA Disability Claims Clinic at Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort and he’s back again today!

This two-day event is bringing veterans and their families together with help for disability claims, benefits questions, health care, mental health support, caregiver resources, and more.

Michael has been busy connecting with veterans and community partners and sharing information about WNC Alliance’s veteran advocacy, crisis support, and resources available across far Western North Carolina.

If you’re attending today, stop by the WNC Alliance table and say hello. WNC Alliance’s event setup came with an impressive backdrop. You can't miss it!

Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and has been recognized as a federal holiday since 2021. Pride Month is observed each June to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities and honor the legacy of the 1969 Stonewall uprising. We enjoyed celebrating both last Friday at Sylva Pride's Juneteenth & Pride Jubilee!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table, shared a conversation, picked up resources, gave therapy dog-in-training Metra a friendly pat, or simply spent time celebrating community with us. We are grateful for opportunities to support and stand alongside all members of our seven-county region.

Our four-legged team members were proud to participate in the Elder Abuse Awareness Walk in Waynesville.

By coming together as a community, we can raise awareness to help prevent abuse, show support for survivors, and help to ensure older adults are treated with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve.

A special thank you to everyone who organized the event, joined the walk, shared resources, and helped shine a light on this important issue. Our therapy dogs loved meeting participants and reminding everyone that sometimes support comes with four paws and a wagging tail.
