Early last week, as more capacity came online for distribution of relief supplies in our neighborhood, we made the decision to begin winding down our own distro operations and shift focus to reopening. This will allow us to serve as a space with resources needed by long term grassroots efforts related to both Hurricane Helene and preexisting challenges within our community.

Beginning Monday, October 14th, and continuing for at least the next two weeks, Firestorm will be open to the public every day from 3pm to 7pm.

We will also be making our space available outside of those hours for community events and other activities, particularly in relation to disaster relief. If you are part of a grassroots group that needs a warm, welcoming spot for coworking, meeting, or an event, hit us up!

Although we are no longer operating as a distro, Firestorm will continue to maintain a small inventory of supplies for neighbors and we'll remain an access site for non-potable water from Be Well AVL. Soon we hope to offer potable water with support from Distribute Aid and begin operating as part of the Mutual Aid Switchboard, created with others in the Mutual Aid Disaster Relief network.
