Asheville restaurants are coupling their off-premise order options with a digital fundraising program so local charities like Coalition of Asheville Neighborhoods can stay active and funded this year.
Nearby fundraising partners for Coalition of Asheville Neighborhoods include Five Guys, MOD Pizza, & Dickeys Barbecue Pit, who will donate 15 – 20% of orders back to Coalition of Asheville Neighborhoods when you book a date to fundraise with them.

Covid-Friendly Clean-Up Stations: #AVLquaranclean
We’ve learned a lot about adapting this year. Back in March, we canceled all of our upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. But it didn’t stop you from working to make Asheville cleaner and safer.
So we amped up our Cleanup Supply Station program, fully stocking existing locations and adding on 2 new stations, for a total of 7 Cleanup Supply Stations throughout Asheville & Buncombe County. We threw in our catchy #AVLquaranclean hashtag on top, and you did the rest!
Since March, 132 volunteers used these stations 36 times to collect over 2,700 pounds of litter from creeks and roads on their own time!! We are also incredibly grateful to Mountain Xpress for donating newspaper stands to be repurposed into these supply stations, the City of Asheville and Buncombe County Government for supporting cleanups, and to Mast General Store and Asheville Sun Soo Martial Arts for hosting our newest stations.
These stations remain stocked and ready for your quarantine pod’s next outing. Remember to sign out supplies, report the trash back to us afterwards, and return supplies for cleaning and reuse! Read more at https://www.ashevillegreenworks.org/latest…/avlquaranclean and contact [email protected] for more information or to schedule supply pick up for larger groups.
