Why You Should Donate To AHN

Please donate today; your donation is tax-deductible. We are an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit charity (incorporated). We believe a donation to Asheville Homeless Network can provide more direct help for the homeless than any other potential use of your money.

You can mail a check to:            Asheville Homeless Network, P.O. Box 205, Asheville, NC 28802

• paid for office or building expenses
• paid salaries for it's officers or Board of Directors
• treated homeless people with lack of respect
