Block Party for Black Mountain

The community, businesses, and people of West Carrollton invite you to join us at our BLOCK PARTY FOR BLACK MOUNTAIN: A Benefit for Western North Carolina on Saturday, October 19th, 2024 from Noon-10pm at 930 Watertower Lane, West Carrollton, Ohio 45449. Please bring donations to fill a semi trailer full of supplies to drive down to Black Mountain, NC!  Cash and Venmo donations are also accepted.  Everything donated and all proceeds from auctions and the event itself will go directly to benefit the people of Black Mountain, NC and the surrounding communities! We will have games, food trucks, music, raffles, drinks (DORA approved), trick or treat for the kids, silent and chance auctions, a car wash and cornhole tournament starting at 1pm.

Hurricane Helene has left untold devastation in her path and Black Mountain, NC is just one example of a town left without water, power, food, or the knowledge that they have a home to go back to at all. Black Mountain is dear to our hearts here at MVSB as it is home to one of our own from West Carrollton – former police officer Dan Wessling and his wife Stephanie.  Dan’s brother, Davis, is still a police officer here – so we have a direct connection to our donations and know exactly where they are going! Dan and Stephanie operate a restaurant in Black Mountain, NC which now serves as a beacon of hope for the community as they have offered up shelter, supplies, and safety. Those supplies and resources are now exhausted and they still need our help! Supply needs are changing daily but as the clean up phase approaches  rubber boots, large contractor trash bags, hazmat suits,  sleeping bags, tents, blankets, camping gear, tools, gas-powered tools, chainsaws, generators, propane tanks, cleaning supplies, peroxide, rubbing alcohol, feminine care products, towels, wash rags, cotton balls, soap, medical equipment and supplies, mold remediation cleaning supplies, and anything of the like are certainly helpful!

All are invited to this family-friendly event!  It is 21+ after 8pm. Please consider donating supplies, money, or time! We need volunteers to work this event and vendors to fill the space! If you’re interested in helping, please find a sponsoring business and reach out!!!  Please come help us support our neighbors, friends, and loved ones in their time of need!
