FREE Community Scoops

The Hop returns to bring a little sweetness! From 1–4pm on Saturday, July 19th, we’ll be set up at Terra Nova Beer Co. (204 Whitson Ave) with Free Ice Cream. On the menu? Local favorite Root Down Naner Puddin’ and other dairy and vegan flavors.

This event is part of our Community Scoops initiative—started in the wake of Hurricane Helene as a pay-it-forward effort to bring joy to our WNC neighbors. Through the generosity of people near and far (some even across the world!), we’ve been able to offer free scoops to the community.

As Swannanoa continues to rebuild, we hope you’ll come out to show love and support to the local businesses that are open, ready, and excited to welcome you. Your presence helps this community thrive again.
