A NEW, RESILIENT COMMUNITY

STILL IMPASSIONED AFTER ALL THESE YEARS: Go Local warriors Franzi Charen, left, and Michele Bryan. Photo by Cindy Kunst

BY GINA SMITH Go Local supporters fond of the endearing, emblematic animal mascots that have typically decorated the cards in years past may be surprised to see them flaunting a completely new look for 2021. Rather than relying on the symbolism of a dinosaur, bear or tortoise and hare — all of which have represented the campaign in years past — the 2021 card gets right to the point: Sustaining Asheville’s small, independent businesses has never been so crucial.

The new design came about in late 2019, when the Asheville Grown Business Alliance, which runs the Go Local project, enlisted Jenny Greer Fares of Sound Mind Creative, the local artist who has illustrated the Go Local cards since 2015, to refresh the organization’s look. “At that point, we didn’t necessarily intend on having that logo for the card,” explains Franzi Charen, founder and director of Asheville Grown and the Go Local campaign. “But as COVID happened, we thought, ‘What is the message that we want to say this year?’ And it all boiled down to local.

It’s so important right now, and that word needs to be the reminder.”

“If we don’t support our local businesses, Asheville could lose its heart and soul and character,” says Asheville Grown Program Manager Michele Bryan. “Of course, Asheville is going to change, but we have a say as a community about how much of its heart and soul stays the same, and we make a difference with our dollars.”

Unsurprisingly, sales of Go Local cards were lower than usual through most of 2020 after the coronavirus impacted shopping and spending habits as well as the ability of many businesses to operate. Yet in the end, the campaign sold roughly the same number of cards overall in 2020 — more than 3,800 — as in 2019, thanks to enhanced social media and visibility efforts that increased sales before COVID-19.

Additionally, Asheville’s small businesses have remained enthusiastic about the Go Local program, even as they’ve coped with the ups and downs of the pandemic. Businesses can join Go Local for free at any time during the year, Bryan points out, and about four dozen new enterprises signed on to participate in the 2020 campaign after the state ordered restaurants and many

services and retail shops to shut down on March 17.

The wide variety of exclusive discounts and other perks that Go Local’s more than 500 member

If we don’t support our local businesses, Asheville could lose its heart, soul and character.

– Michele Bryan

Program Manager, Asheville Grown

businesses offer to cardholders are just part of what prompted Montford resident Sherree Lucas to buy a card — and eventually begin volunteering with the organization — after she moved to Asheville from the San Francisco Bay area in 2019. Formerly a marketing expert for startup companies in Silicon Valley, Lucas was drawn to Go Local’s mission of supporting a flourishing and resilient local economy.

“We lived in Berkeley, and there are lots of small businesses there,

but I never felt the pride in small, local, independent businesses that I have found here,” she says.

Lucas believes so deeply in the initiative that she’s started buying Go Local cards to include with welcome packages that are distributed to new residents in her neighborhood. “I wanted everybody to know about this program when they move in,” she says. “It’s just gone over so well!”

When shopping at Asheville spots displaying the familiar red-and-black Go Local signs, Lucas takes time to personally tell business owners how much she appreciates them being part of the campaign and supporting local schools. She feels good, she says, that 50% of revenue from Go Local card sales — nearly $32,000 in 2020 — goes directly to the 10 schools in the Asheville City Schools system.

“It’s not just about buying and selling,” she says. “It’s about how I can use this program to help build our community. And what better way to do that than through education?”

But like many of the small businesses it supports, the Go Local program is looking at an uncertain future, Charen says. Asheville Grown received a 2021 Buncombe County Strategic Partnership Grant of $15,000 to help sustain the program, but she worries the campaign could find itself in peril if businesses are forced to reconsider their memberships as they shift operating models and tighten their belts to navigate an erratic market.

“It’s imperative that people know that we’re just like any business,”

BACKYARD INSPIRATION: After stealing Franzi Charen’s heart, Dolly the squirrel won the Go Local team’s vote as 2021 mascot. Photo by Franzi Charen Charen says. “We need people to come to the forefront and show their support in all the ways that are possible. It’s really up to our community whether we continue or not.”

She stresses that Asheville Grown is working hard to identify creative and resourceful routes to sustainability, including seeking nonprofit status in order to source funding beyond Go Local card revenue. “We’re open to ideas from the community,” Charen adds.

The quest to plant the seeds of a secure future for both the Go Local program and Asheville’s economy is embodied in the image of the lively squirrel designed by Fares that appears on the 2021 directory’s cover.

Inspired by Dolly, an Eastern gray squirrel Charen patiently worked to

befriend in her backyard during the COVID-19 quarantine, the illustration embodies many characteristics that relate to small, local businesses, such as saving resources for a rainy day.

“Squirrels are also responsible for so much of our tree canopy growth, because they tend to forget where they bury their nuts, and oftentimes those nuts are the ones that survive and turn into trees,” Charen notes.

“So we also want to highlight the idea of planting for new growth and deciding what kind of community and society is going to grow out of this. What are the things that we can forget and leave to the past, and what are the lessons that we can grow into a new, flourishing world?”

SCHOOLS NEED GO LOCAL NOW MORE THAN EVER

BY GINA SMITH Many residents of West Asheville — even those without schoolage children — are familiar with the lush, productive gardens at Vance Elementary School. Maintained in partnership with Bountiful Cities’ FEAST program, the Vance Elementary School Peace Garden engages students in educational gardening and cooking experiences while also providing fresh veggies and a verdant urban oasis for community members.

More than $3,300 of the nearly $32,000 raised last year by the Go Local campaign for Asheville City Schools was donated to Vance Elementary to keep its garden learning programs up and running, says Vance parent and the school’s Go Local card sales coordinator Jennifer Arellano. One of the biggest expenses the parent teacher organization faces each year, she says, is helping FEAST support the salary of the school’s Bountiful Cities garden coordinator, Jordan Diamond.

“Vance loves Ms. Jordan and the care and knowledge that she brings to our FEAST program,” says Arellano, noting FEAST’s mission to empower youths and families to grow, prepare and eat fruits and vegetables through cooking and garden education. “This is an invaluable experience that provides Vance students with hands-on learning in our beautiful garden space.”

Go Local card sales also help support Vance Elementary’s teachers through staff appreciation events, STEAM stipends and more. And Arellano points out that in the 2020-2021 school year, with in-person learning and social activities disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, Go Local funding is

The Vance parent teacher organization depends on funding from Go Local card sales to support Diamond’s position with the school. Photo courtesy of Bountiful Cities especially critical. “This year, more than ever, we rely on this fundraiser, as this will likely be our only fundraiser during this virtual time of COVID,” she says.

Go Local program manager Michele Bryan says she has heard similar concerns this year from other schools that receive an average of 20% of their needed funds annually from the $160,000 the campaign has raised for local ed-

ucation since it launched in 2012.

“They are seriously handicapped and challenged in what fundraisers they can do for themselves,” Bryan says.

Asheville Primary School and the Asheville City Schools Foundation’s In Real Life After-School program also rely heavily on donations from the Go Local campaign.

Primary School received from Go Local helped pay for food for family engagement activities, such as its Soul Food Potluck and Breakfast with Buddies events, as well as school supplies and classroom stipends for teachers to purchase their own materials.

Go Local funding also supported teacher appreciation efforts, helped offset the cost of yearbooks for families and paid for educational supplies to support families with at-home learning when COVID-19 shut down classrooms. The Parent Teacher Collective also receives funding from family and community fundraisers, says Polly Bolding, enrollment and engagement coordinator for Asheville City Schools Preschool Program and Asheville Primary School. But as a small school that’s only been open since 2017, these efforts are still nascent.

“Go Local has been one of the biggest fundraising sources for us, and I think that will continue next year as it will be even harder to have fundraising events because of COVID,” says Bolding. “There is

still definitely a need for fundraising support to enhance our school environment, but we expect the specific needs to continue to change with remote learning for the elementary schoolers.”

This year, more tha ever, we rely on Go Locnal, as it will likely be our only fundraiser during this vir tual time of COVID. – Jennifer Arellano

In Real Life, an after-school program of the Asheville City Schools Foundation, depends on financial support from Go Local to make its hands-on art, music, sports, craft, cooking and recreational activities available to local middle-schoolers. One IRL program, Asheville on Bikes, has taught many Asheville youths how to ride a bicycle, says program manager Greg Hall.

“Most recently, after just two days of programming, we had three IRL students learn how to ride a bike who had never ridden before,” he says.

This year, with help from the nearly $2,800 raised exclusively from card sales at Hopey & Co.’s downtown grocery store, IRL has been able to waive student registration fees to make the service free for families while continuing to deliver programming through both in-person and virtual events. And, despite the fact that its largest annual fundraising event was canceled in March due to the pandemic, IRL has additionally been able to begin providing transportation for students to and from home this school year, thanks to Go Local’s support.

“This was huge for our kids because most of them are bus riders,” says IRL program coordinator Marilee Woodard. “Because of this, our cost for transportation has increased significantly, so funding for this year and the year to come are crucial for IRL.”

CHARACTER-BUILDING: IRL’s Asheville Middle School Dungeons and Dragons Club is run by former middle schoolers who now work as paid DREAM high school interns. The DREAM intern program, funded by Go Local card sales, is designed to create a pipeline of leadership from middle school to high school (DREAM stands for: Dedicated, Responsible, Enthusiastic, After School, Mentors).
