One Hub. Stronger Connections. A More Resilient Western North Carolina.

The wncHelp App is a community health app that serves as a new digital infrastructure for Western North Carolina, aimed at addressing food insecurity and providing mental health support by making local help easier to find and share. It’s a central hub where nonprofits, neighbors in need, volunteers, and funders can connect, support each other, and show up together when it matters most.

If you believe our region deserves better coordination, clearer communication, and kinder access to services, your voice is essential in shaping what comes next. Add your organization’s name to this emerging coalition and help design the technology for health that our community needs to thrive.

Bountiful Cities: "By utilizing a community health app that consolidates food access points, community resources, events, and opportunities to give or receive support into one easy-to-use platform, wncHelp tackles a significant and ongoing barrier to access: understanding where to go and how to get connected through technology for health."
