In The Arms Of The Goddess

When a child is scared or hurt, they seek out Mother. They crawl into Her lap, snuggle up to Her bosom, and wait for Her arms to wrap around them, giving them protection and unconditional love. As adults we seek Mother in the same manner when we are scared or hurt. In The Arms Of The Goddess seeks to provide that feeling of protection and unconditional love for everyone in our community.

In The Arms Of The Goddess is a charitable program of the Mother Grove Goddess Temple. Our aim is to take donated goods and provide them to the community regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or spiritual path. We seek to let our neighbors know that they are loved and protected by their own neighbors whom are the representatives of The Mother.

Who are our recipients? Everyone in the community! Anyone can contact us in time of need and we will make an effort to try and help them. In addition we will be sending goods to; Prison Ministry of Mother Grove Goddess Temple, Helpmate of Asheville (a domestic abuse shelter), and Homeward Bound (a homeless shelter).

How can I donate? You can bring the goods each Sunday during our Drumming & Devotional or to any ritual that we host. If you wish to deliver goods to us outside of our regularly scheduled events you are very welcome to contact us to arrange a meeting.

I can't make a donation now, can I help? Yes! Volunteers are needed in coordinating pickup of goods, delivery of goods, and speaking with people who wish to donate or need help.
