FREE Lunch

Daily, Monday through Friday. Open to everyone. 11:30am-1:30pm

A cafe that serves 100% rescued food from local agencies to offer a FREE, dignified, meal for all of Asheville. Reducing waste. Building community. A great way to meet new people and eat for free!

WEDNESDAYS ARE VEGETARIAN!

We start serving lunch at 11:30, but our doors generally open around 9:30. Please keep that in mind on  cold mornings when you might want a warm and friendly space to hang out in, and a hot cup of coffee.

“12 Baskets Cafe is a place for EVERYONE to come and share a meal in community- not just the homeless and marginalized. We would love to see more and more new faces in the cafe, eating a meal together with people they might never encounter in their day-to-day life. Having a steady income DOES NOT disqualify you.

Yes, we want to address hunger, but we’re also trying to break down barriers between socioeconomic classes and other divisive identifiers to remind us that we’re all part of the same essential human family. The only way to do this is having a conversation, together. Please keep this in mind and come join us!

French Broad Riverkeeper Paddle Trip

French Broad Riverkeeper Paddle Trip

July 19-22, join us for a four-day float

 

Now is the time to start planning your French Broad River adventure! Every year, MountainTrue and our French Broad Riverkeeper take participants on a guided trip down the French Broad River, camping out along the French Broad River Paddle Trail℠ (proudly sponsored by Oskar Blues Brewery). Leave the shuttle and logistics to us and enjoy the river’s beauty from the water!
We take care of all the logistics and camp sites so you can enjoy this beautiful river with some of the top craft breweries in the entire world along the way. We’ll put in at Hap Simpson River Park and take out in time to hit Oskar Blues. We’ll float down to Sierra Nevada from there, and then hit New Belgium once we get into Asheville. It’s our very own Brew Paddle. We’ll also highlight the work of the Riverkeeper program and take water samples, but we’ll be sure to leave enough time for cornhole and s’mores at the campsites.
This trip features some of the most stunning scenery in the region, and we’ll highlight and take water quality samples in an effort to understand the threats to the French Broad River. Camping has been arranged for each night of the trip, providing an exciting opportunity to paddle-camp along the banks of the river every night of your journey. Great hearty food will be provided for each meal. Breakfast will range from pancakes, bacon and eggs, yogurt, fruit, and bagels. Lunch will be made in the morning and eaten on the river. Dinner will range from pasta, to dinner out at local eateries, to pizza.

Dads’ Day River Clean Up

Join us for a SPECIAL Dad’s Day River Clean Up with MountainTrue, Asheville GreenWorks, and RiverLink. Dads, moms, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters….everyone’s invited!

We’ll put in at Jean Webb River Park and float on down to the Salvage Station, picking trash and tires from the river the whole way. French Broad Chocolates has promised some goodies for us at the take-out, and we encourage folks to cool off with a cold brew at the Salvage Station.

Details:
– June 18 at 12:30pm – 3pm
– 1.5 mile paddle on French Broad
Meet at Jean Webb River Park (30 Riverside Dr. Asheville NC 28801). We’ll put on the river and float down to the Salvage Station. French Broad Outfitters will shuttle us back to our cars at the end of the paddle.

Boats, gloves, trash bags, and paddle gear will be supplied by MountainTrue, Riverlink, and Asheville Greenworks. Bring some water, a hat, and sunscreen.

This event is a great opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day, make a tangible contribution to Asheville’s most important natural asset, and raise awareness about issues that affect the cleanliness of our French Broad River.

We are also excited about our new partnership with the Asheville City Soccer Club.   This summer we will be hiring 2-3 of Asheville City’s players to work in camp and will also have apprearences from  some Asheville City players on Friday to mingle with our players during our camp soccer tournament at the end of each camp on friday.  Hopefully the kids will enjoy meeting there soccer heros and be able to watch them play this summer at Memorial Stadium.
