ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- When the hurricane hit Asheville last year the storm was bad, but for many the aftermath was worse. There was no food, power, or water for weeks. Which is why so many people turned to their community for help.

There was no power or Wi-Fi to connect with family, there was also limited food and personal hygiene products.

That's where organizations like BeLoved Asheville turned into an anchor of support.

"When you come this close to death, you realize that every person is valuable and that we can't treat anybody as less," said Amy Cantrell with BeLoved.

Piles of donations came from all over the country.

Everything from bottles of water to diapers and cleaning supplies.
