Helping At Risk Kids, Inc (HARK) serves Buncombe County’s most vulnerable children and youth: those in court-ordered protective custody, kids aging out of the foster care system, and youngsters without stable housing. We fund basic, emergency, and child-specific enrichment needs, as identified by caring social workers, school counselors and Guardians Ad Litem.

Funds are raised through individual and corporate donations, and community grants. Requests for assistance must come through partnering agencies. Requests made directly from individuals will not be considered. Support provided is subject to available funding.
