Tera McIntosh ’12 (GSLC, PhD), faculty for the Master of Human Services Administration, MBA, and MA in Nonprofit Management, and a member of Antioch’s Anti Racism Task Force, and her wife Amy McIntosh ’20 (Online, BA) distributed close to 14K in donations to their community in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. As founders of Misfit Mountain, a foster-based animal rescue in the Greater Asheville area helping dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and small animals find their forever homes, they organized animal supply drives and received goods from all over the country. They also took in an additional 26 animals after the hurricane due to people losing their homes in the floods and mudslides and are offering placement until the families can rebuild. They are doing this work while their 12-acre rescue is recovering from 30k in damages.
