Monthly Service Projects

At Asheville Community Yoga, we believe in the power of community and the transformative impact of service. Our slogan, “Freedom Through Service,” reflects the heart of what we do—empowering ourselves and others through acts of kindness, connection, and giving back. It’s not just about rolling out your mat; it’s about coming together to make a positive impact. Yoga is so much more than a physical practice, and Seva (selfless service) is a huge part of our philosophy.

As an organization that relies on the support of volunteers, we understand the importance of mutual aid and community service. That’s why we facilitate monthly service projects in collaboration with other local nonprofits and organizations to extend the support we have to the greater Asheville/WNC community. These projects are an opportunity to connect, give back, and make a difference. Whether it’s helping build homes, cleaning up local parks, or packing meals for those in need, we aim to engage with the community in meaningful ways.

All are welcome, and we encourage you to bring your friends, family, and fellow yoga enthusiasts to join us in making a positive difference!

Want to join us for our next service project?

We’d love to have you with us as we continue to give back to the community that has supported us.

It’s a great way to get involved, connect with like-minded individuals, and give back to the place we all call home. Together, we’re creating freedom through service and making a lasting impact!

About ABCCM

Many of our neighbors live paycheck to paycheck, making difficult choices on a daily basis between rent, utilities, food, health care, day care and so much more.

An unexpected expense can throw these families into financial crises. When that happens, people turn to the ABCCM Crisis Ministry for help. This ministry serves the low-income citizens of Buncombe County who are facing financial emergencies and are struggling to meet life’s basic needs.

Each day we see people who are working in one or more low-wage jobs, the disabled or elderly who are living on fixed incomes, and those facing increasing costs of living, stagnant wages and a lack of affordable housing. We provide them with food boxes, gently used clothing, utility and rental assistance; and a hot meal at our soup kitchen located on 1543 Patton Ave. With your support we will help ensure our families can provide a home for their children.
