Eblen Charities/Ingles Pharmacy Immunization Clinic

We’ve teamed up with our community partners once again to benefit area children who are uninsured or underinsured.

The Eblen Charities/Ingles Pharmacy Immunization Project will provide free vaccines that are required for children who begin Kindergarten or 7th grade this year.

This will coincide with the Eblen Charities Tools for Schools distribution on Wednesday, August 22 from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Professionals will be on-site to provide health screenings and life-saving vaccines. Please bring your child’s vaccination record and insurance or Medicaid information with you.

The Tools for Schools distribution and Immunization Clinic will take place at the Westgate Shopping Center.

Call Eblen Charities at 828-255-3066 or email them at info@eblencharities.org to learn more.

Special thanks to our partners: Ingles Pharmacy, Eblen Charities, Family Care Black Mountain, and the Buncombe County Health Department.

WelcomeFEST

Together with the coalition of local chefs known as “Chefs @ Downtown Welcome Table,” Haywood Street Congregation is hosting WelcomeFEST 2018 on Wednesday, August 22nd from 10:30 am – 2:00 pm.

To be held as an annual event, this outdoor festival will feature live music and meals prepared on-site by seven local food trucks. WelcomeFEST will take place in the parking lot of Haywood Street Congregation (297 Haywood Street), where the free community meal known as the Downtown Welcome Table takes place, inside, every Wednesday and Sunday.

Participating food trucks include: Appalachian Chic, Bun Intended, Cecilia’s Kitchen, Gypsy Queen, Mountain View BBQ, Out of the Blue Peruvian Fusion, and Root Down. Music will be provided by Ashley Heath and Her Heathens; Alex Krug, featuring Bill Berg.

Lunch tickets will operate on a buy one/give one philosophy, with each $20 ticket feeding a member of the Asheville community in need, as well as the purchaser. Donations will support the ongoing operations of the Downtown Welcome Table, typically serving 700+ weekly.

Wicked Weed Brewing will provide a trolley to shuttle guests from four pickup points in the downtown Asheville area to the event site, as parking is extremely limited in the vicinity and not offered at the location. Pickup points include: French Broad Chocolate Lounge; the Aloft Hotel; Coxe Ave. across and slightly North from the US Post Office; on Haywood Street across from the Woolworth Walk.
