COVID-19 vaccines are reaching more arms and the rate of people catching the virus in Buncombe County is falling.
At a community update May 18 before the county Board of Commissioners, Public Health Director Stacie Saunders said new COVID-19 cases and metrics such as test positivity have declined as vaccination rates climb. Overall, our metrics are looking very encouraging, she said. Our hard work as a community is certainly evident as we see those metrics change.
Saunders credited the county s commitment to the three Ws and executive orders and outreach across the county, but she encouraged people to get vaccinated if they haven t yet, and to stay safe.

Every year, members of the grassroots hunting organization Back Yard Bow Pro (BYBP) donate thousands of pounds of venison to local charity groups to help alleviate hunger in two North Carolina counties. It’s a popular program that organizers hope will spread across the nation to help hungry families.
This local non-profit group, founded in Weaverville, N.C., has come up with a formula that helps everybody. They help the hungry by donating fresh meat to charities. They help landowners by reducing the excess population of deer that destroy much of the locally grown organic produce. They help hunters by giving them not only a larger purpose to the hunt but by integrating their function into the community.
