What's The Quilt?

What's The Quilt?

Quilts have a long history across many cultures- both providing warmth and telling stories. We’re working on our own quilt where all of our colors, patterns, and shapes are stitched together with love and joy.

“The Quilt” is a collaborative effort to share resources across WNC that serve our marginalized communities. We’re celebrating our eight Pride festivals, expanding access to mental health services, and highlighting the groups working to support our community every day.

By working together, we can connect everyone to the resources that we all need to thrive.

Welcome to The Quilt!
