Hurricane Helene Relief: Earthy Now & Earthy Select

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Supporters,

We’re reaching out to you in a time of deep challenge, turning to the compassion and generosity that our community has always embraced. Many of you know that our small cannabis businesses have been a trusted source of wellness and healing for people here in Western North Carolina and beyond. Sadly, the recent devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, along with the overwhelming floods that followed, has put us in a difficult position. Now, more than ever, we are asking for your support to continue providing the care that our customers rely on.

The impact of the storm was more severe than we could have anticipated. The floodwaters caused significant damage to our facilities, and our hardworking staff is struggling to navigate the aftermath. Many of our neighbors have also been deeply affected, losing their homes and livelihoods. While the journey ahead may seem daunting, we have faith in the resilience of our community and know that, together, we can overcome these challenges.

Our products have brought relief and comfort to countless people across the country, and our commitment to those we serve has always been at the heart of our work. As we begin the process of rebuilding, we are determined to continue fulfilling our mission of providing care and wellness to those who need it most.

For those of you who know Ander Schreiner, the founder of Earthy Now and Earthy Select, you understand his deep love for Asheville and its people. Over the years, our business has proudly supported local artists, small businesses, and a variety of community events. Today, we are humbly asking for your help so that we can continue giving back to the community that has stood by us from the very start.

Our team and partners are doing everything they can to move forward, but resources are limited, and we can’t do this on our own. That’s why we’ve started this GoFundMe—to raise the funds necessary to restore our operations and assist our employees and neighbors in rebuilding their lives.

The funds raised will be used for:

1. Rebuilding Our Facilities: Repairing and restoring our workspace is essential to continuing operations and ensuring a safe environment for everyone involved.

2. Supporting Community Relief: We are committed to sharing a portion of the funds with those in our local community who have been hardest hit by the storm.

3. Assisting Our Employees: Our team is the heart of our business. Your support will help us bring them back and provide the stability they need during this uncertain time.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact and bring us closer to recovery. We can’t fully express how much your kindness and generosity mean to us. With your support, we know we can rebuild and continue offering the wellness and relief that our community depends on.

With sincere gratitude,

Ander Schreiner

Owner, Earthy Now & Earthy Select
