Help Luella's and our Crew Recover from Hurricane Helene

Donation protected
Luella's Bar-B-Que, and our amazing Crew, was hit hard by Hurricane Helene.

Since 2007, we’ve been serving up heaping helpings of love-slathered goodness all over Asheville, NC. We stand behind a commitment to enriching the lives of our team, our guests and everyone in our community. For 17 years, we have helped Asheville Taste the Love. And now, we are asking for your help to get us back on our feet.

Our flagship location remains closed indefinitely due a lack of water from our city's damaged water system. For Luella's this means, no income and no work for most of our team.

This does not mean we have been sitting idly by. On 9/30 we donated over 300lbs of produce to a kitchen downtown that is providing meals to the National Guard and other relief workers. On 10/1 we were able to serve over 400 people with food that was otherwise going to spoil. On 10/3 we partnered with others in our community to cook donated burgers and fries to feed~ 800 people. We intend to help give back to our community as long as we are able.

We have a long road ahead of us and here is how your donation can help:
  • Helping us get back on our feet as soon as possible
  • Emergency funding to team members that may have been displaced
  • Recovery efforts in our community
