With everything we do\, we aim to create change with action through community input\,” said Caitlin Johnson\, Associate Director\, AMY Wellness Foundation. “Our first Regional Convening Meeting was held in early 2020 and helped shape the Foundation’s funding areas for our grant partners.

The Foundation is looking to have community input on those areas and to better understand the current health landscape and how it has changed since the pandemic. “It is of utmost importance we listen to the people who live\, work\, and love our community. Without our partners AMYWF would not be able to strategically serve our neighbors\, it is important we make sure our funds are meeting their needs\,” said Luke Howe\, Executive Director\, AMY Wellness Foundation. \n  \nAMY Wellness Foundation Regional Convening Meeting will take place for all community members in Avery\, Mitchell\, and Yancey counties on November 3\, 2022 from 3-5pm location 31 Cross Street\, Banquet Hall\, Spruce Pine\, NC 28777 \nThis event is free and open to the public.
