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.

Looking for the perfect holiday gift? The White Labs team is hosting round two of our ultra-popular course Challenge Your Taste Buds! This fun, interactive (and virtual) experience allows YOU to be the sensory professional. While tasting delicious, high-quality beer, obviously…
By utilizing the easy-to-navigate tasting app, SampleOx, attendees will evaluate White Labs Brewing Company’s brand new can releases! After evaluation, each attendee will receive a live tasting score showing just how accurately they matched with the professional sensory panel at White Labs (woo!). This event is perfect for any experience level and is made simple with the guidance of White Labs’ Education & Engagement Curator, Jo Doyle. Join us as we spend a fun evening tasting unique, fermentation-focused beers while we increase our tasting knowledge.
The Details $25 gets you:
- One mixed four-pack of 16oz cans including White Labs Brewing Co. Tabberer IPA (WLP001 & WLP008) and Dark Lager (WLP800 & WLP810)
- Access to the digital event
We encourage doing this with a partner as we will be opening four 16oz. cans over the span of 90 minutes. This is an interactive zoom event where engagement and discussion is encouraged! Our fermentation experts will be there during the virtual event, so you can interact, ask questions, make comments and (virtually) hang with your fellow beer lovers.
We will be using the app Sample OX for the tasting portion. We encourage participants to download the app prior to the event. There will be a join code provided that will direct you to the correct event.
