Biltmore Park & Emma Adopt-a-Community Partnership

Ongoing throughout the year

Since 2002, Biltmore Park has worked with Emma, a West Asheville community comprised of the most diverse population in Buncombe County.  Over the years we have held yard sales, school supplies drives, “adopt-a-star holiday tree”, and other events to benefit the Emma Community Resource Center. If you would like to help with this program or if you have other ideas for Biltmore Park residents to share our personal and community assets with other service organizations, please contact the Social Committee.

Heroes Right Here in Biltmore Park!

Did you know that when community connections (known as “social capital”) are lacking, people’s quality of life and even physical health suffer dramatically?  We are social animals!  So let’s hear it for the heroes here in Biltmore Park who are adding years to our lives (and fun to those years!)… 

Sincere thanks to each of you and to your families for all your hard work.
