The Hendersonville Community Co-op donated $275 to MountainTrue through its BYOBag program. Each time a shopper brings their own bag for their groceries the Co-op hands the shopper a wooden chip which they then deposit into the box representing the non-profit organization of their choice. The Hendersonville Community Co-op then passes on the savings to recipients like MountainTrue in the form of a financial donation.

Liquidlogic, the fletcher-based whitewater and crossover kayak manufacturer, has donated a Remix XP10 crossover kayak to MountainTrue to help them keep Western North Carolina’s rivers healthy, clean and safe places to swim and play. “We’re thankful for everything MountainTrue does to keep our rivers clean, and we’re glad to donate a Liquidlogic boat to help advance their work,” said Tyler Brown, Director of Marketing. “With this boat going to the Southern Regional Office in Hendersonville, we know that they’ll put it to great use to protect water quality in our backyard.”
