Freedom Dinner 2025

In September, the Bed and Breakfast on Tiffany Hill came alive with laughter, candlelight, and compassion as our community gathered for the 2025 Freedom Dinner — a night dedicated to fighting human trafficking through the work of Atlas Free.

Now in its second year, this event has grown into one of the most powerful and meaningful evenings we host all year. While the Freedom Dinner raises funds to help rescue and restore lives, it is not simply a fundraiser — it’s a celebration of community and hope. Every dish, every flower, every glass raised is offered with purpose.

This year, we raised over $31,000, and 100% of the funds went directly to AtlasFree.org, an organization working around the world to bring freedom and restoration to survivors of trafficking. None of this would have been possible without the generous hearts of our guests, volunteers, and donors — because with Freedom Dinners, every aspect of the dinner is donated.

From the moment guests arrived, they were welcomed into an atmosphere of warmth and beauty — live guitar music softly filling the backyard, and tables set with intentional care. As the sun set, guests shared a locally sourced dinner served by volunteer teens from West Henderson High School’s FCCLA chapter and Asheville Christian Academy.

With videos provided by Atlas Free, stories of freedom and resilience reminded us why we gather. And we were reminded that something as simple as sharing a meal can make an extraordinary impact across the globe.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who attended, served, donated, and spread the word. The Freedom Dinner embodies what we cherish most about Tiffany Hill — hospitality with heart, beauty with meaning, and community with purpose.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the movement for freedom. Together, we can make a difference — one dinner, one story, and one act of love at a time.

And for one last shout out: MANY THANKS TO ALL OF OUR DONORS…
