SAY MOOOO
DAIRY MARKET | CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA
Housed just outside Downtown Charlottesville in a historic former dairy company building (hence the name!), the Dairy Market brings together a stunning variety of food and drink options all under one roof. Local businesses planting new roots in the market include venerable brewery Starr Hill, sandwich favorite Take-It-Away, and exciting fresh concepts like Dino’s Wood-fired Pizza & Rotisserie Chicken. End your visit on a sweet note with scrumptious ice cream from Moo Thru—you’ll thank us later! dairymarketcville.com

HELPING HANDS
HOMEWARD BOUND OF WNC | ASHEVILLE, NC
Homeward Bound of Western North Carolina has given more than 2,000 people in Asheville and Buncombe County a head start to break the cycle of homelessness through housing since 2006. By providing people in need with critical housing, Homeward Bound helps boost the community from the ground up. Many Asheville Nest agents participate in REACH (Real Estate Agents Combatting Homelessness), donating a portion of their commission to support Homeward Bound’s work to end homelessness. homewardboundwnc.org
