Celebrate International Women’s Day 2022

The MakeHER Market at Reynolds Village

The MakeHER Market returns on Saturday, March 5th in celebration of International Women’s Day in a new location at Reynolds Village in North Asheville.

Among its missions, IWD 2022 strives to “imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #BreakTheBias.”

The 2022 MakeHER Market will raise money for HelpMate and feature 20 female, independent creatives, makers and designers and their unique, hand crafted goods. Fair Trade coffee, jewelry and home décor as well as locally made art, accessories and botanicals will be available to purchase. Created and organized by Fair Trade companies Incite Coffee Co. and Maadili Collective, as well as Hello, Gorgeous! Professional Bra Fitting & More, all women-owned, local Asheville companies. In addition to shopping for local vendor goods, guests can donate to the Hello Gorgeous! Bra Drive for HelpMate, a year-round program to provide courageous survivors with bra fittings and gently loved, cleaned, and curated bras. The MakeHER Market event aims to honor the empowerment and enterprising ventures of diverse women locally and abroad.

All participating vendors will be fully vaccinated against Covid 19 and the event will follow the Buncombe County mandates for Covid protocols for all guests.

Event hours are 11am to 5pm, admission is free and families are welcome.

MANNA FoodBank Table for Three Raffle
Mar 15 all-day
online

After a two-year hiatus, MANNA is thrilled to announce the return of the Table For Three raffle, our hunger-ending initiative that features a grand prize of 52 restaurant gift certificates for a “meal for two” from the Asheville-area’s finest local restaurants. The pricing for the tickets ($104) is intentional. Every raffle ticket sold will provide one meal a day for more than a year for a food-insecure neighbor – hence the winning ticket equals a Table for Three.
Mark your calendars for March 15, when you’ll be able to check out this year’s incredible Restaurant Partners and be one of the first people to purchase your tickets. Only 500 tickets will be sold!
