Each month, we donate 10% of a day’s sales to support a local nonprofit’s work. Shop on Tuesday, October 24, to support Food Connection.
Call it civic pride or mountain spirit, but we think supporting the work of those maintaining trails, cleaning waterways, connecting youth to outdoors, and doing other awesome things to keep WNC a place we can all enjoy…well, it’s the right thing to do. As the area’s first outdoor store, we’ve enjoyed the support of our friends and neighbors since 1964.
Food Connection rescues surplus freshly prepared meals from events, caterers and restaurants via Asheville Taxi and delivers it to nonprofits who feed the hungry. Recipients include BeLoved House, Trinity Place Shelter for Runaway Youth, East Asheville Welcome Table, MusicWorks After School program and more. Fresh items such as beef brisket, crab cakes, roasted local veggies, kale and quinoa salad are now staying out of the compost and trash, and instead going to those in our community who need it the most. In two and a half years over 50,000 meals have been rescued and delivered. More at FoodConnection.co.
