AIR and our entire independent restaurant community have been overwhelmed by your love and support during this time. Ordering takeout, a gift card, or even just a simple text or post saying how much they appreciate and support us means everything – each and every order, text and post keep us going every day and on behalf of AIR, and from the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!
Our work is far from over.
We need your help.
Unlike most businesses that can just turn their lights on when the pandemic is over, restaurants face fundamentally different problems. In order for independent restaurants to serve communities again and assist in reigniting the economy, they need critical support from the federal government.
We’re asking Congress to establish the Independent Restaurant Stabilization Fund to ensure restaurants will receive the necessary capital to reopen and stay open.
What can you do to help? We are asking you – our customers, community, friends and family, to share our story. You can help #SaveRestaurants

About this Meal Train
Our shelters are set up as community living environments and are not structured for current social distancing and quarantining recommendations. Therefore, we have temporarily moved our shelter residents into hotel stays. We plan to use hotel stays for shelter residents through the month of May 2020. While our shelter residents are in hotel stays, we are continuing to provide 24/7 staff availability on-site of the hotel, mobile advocacy and case management, and access to all basic essential needs (food, toiletries, baby/children’s supplies, etc.). We need help with providing supper to the clients in the form of restaurant deliveries. If you would like to contribute by ordering a meal or donating toward the Meal Train fund, we would be so grateful. A meal for all shelter/hotel residents should cost about $200 a night. Thank you!

Safe Harbor’s Housing Assistance Program is available to survivors of domestic violence needing assistance with housing support who are currently engaged in Safe Harbor’s shelter and/or community-based programs.
Safe Harbor’s Housing Assistance Program provides secure and stable housing to survivors and their children by providing a percentage of rental and utility assistance for an average of 12 months.
Safe Harbor provides case management (with an emphasis on financial stability) and goal-setting for clients throughout their time in the program, offering clients the opportunity to achieve goals toward stable housing and financial empowerment.
When this program has openings, clients who are currently participating in our shelter and/or community-based programs are made aware of this opportunity and steps they can take to become eligible.

Health and Safety Updates
Opening our 8,000-Acre Estate on a Limited Basis Starting May 9
In accordance with state and local government reopening guidelines, Biltmore will open the estate’s park spaces—our glorious gardens and grounds with more than 20 miles of walking, hiking, and biking trails—beginning Saturday, May 9.
With consideration for county mandates regarding social distancing and mass gatherings, we are opening exclusively for Biltmore Annual Passholders who reside in Western North Carolina on an advanced reservations-only basis.
We will expand the opening of additional guest experiences in alignment with state and local guidelines. We look forward to welcoming more guests to the estate at that time.
Mystery Hill and our rowdy neighbor, Tomahawk Hill, will be reopening from 9 am to 6 pm only on Fridays, Sat-
urdays, and Sundays, starting May 15th. As part of the Covid 19 Phase One business openings instituted in North
Carolina, we will abide by the safe distancing rules, and will have limited, time-slotted tickets. We encourage
visitors to buy tickets in advance on our website to avoid wait times outside. All attractions will be operating with
some operational changes to help with social distancing and ramped up sanitation procedures. Front Porch Eats
will operate for take out only but the onsite picnic areas have been setup for social distancing and will be open.
We are going to extend the expiration date on all current Vortex Pass Memberships to December 31, 2021 and for the
rest of May any vortex passes purchased or renewed will get $20 off and will also be valid until December 31, 2021.
Here are just some of the precautions we are taking:
• Separate entrance and exit doors to limit cross traffic
• 6 ft separation in ticketing queue line
• Plastic barriers separating staff and guests in ticketing line
• Staff will wear a mask and maintain social distance
• Anomaly tours will start every 30 min and will be private for only one group traveling
together
• Access to the Museums, Tomahawk Hill and Gift Shops will be limited by occupancy to help with social dis-
tancing
• The Old Time Photo Parlour will not be open yet so for tickets that include photos guest can choose to either
have a souvenir photo done in the Mystery House, Platform, Bubblerama, or Tomahawk Hill or they can get a
voucher to use for the Old Time Photo when it reopens
• Front Porch Eats will operate for takeout only but guests can use our picnic tables which have been spread
out to maintain social distancing
• We are adding hand sanitizing stations at the entrance to each of our exhibit areas and asking the guest to
sanitize before they enter
• We are increasing our daily housekeeping cleaning of fixtures, exhibits, and handrails to several times per day
