Asheville Poverty Initiative
(12 Baskets Cafe)
At Asheville Poverty Initiative, our mission is to build community and educate about the realities of poverty.
In our Realities of Poverty education program, we educate K-12 and college students, business employees and owners, faith communities, elected leaders, and community members about economic justice issues and solutions. We know most knowledge comes from learned experience. That's why we partner with individuals with first-hand knowledge of living in poverty in Asheville to provide opportunities for transformative group education.
12 Baskets Cafe, located at 610 Haywood Road in West Asheville, is open to everyone. We embrace all walks of life - those facing hunger, seeking belonging, or eager to help. We are community-powered and use 100% rescued food in a space where everyone contributes as they can.
We are open for sit-down meals and groceries every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11 AM to 1 PM, brunch on weekends from 10 AM-12 PM and dinner on Wednesdays from 6-7 PM. You can come for a free, delicious, hot meal and leave with whatever groceries you need. While the food is donated, it costs Asheville Poverty Initiative a little over $10 per plate to cover costs like rent and utilities. Your support is crucial in ensuring our programs continue!
