Dads’ Day River Clean Up

Join us for a SPECIAL Dad’s Day River Clean Up with MountainTrue, Asheville GreenWorks, and RiverLink. Dads, moms, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters….everyone’s invited!

We’ll put in at Jean Webb River Park and float on down to the Salvage Station, picking trash and tires from the river the whole way. French Broad Chocolates has promised some goodies for us at the take-out, and we encourage folks to cool off with a cold brew at the Salvage Station.

Details:
– June 18 at 12:30pm – 3pm
– 1.5 mile paddle on French Broad
Meet at Jean Webb River Park (30 Riverside Dr. Asheville NC 28801). We’ll put on the river and float down to the Salvage Station. French Broad Outfitters will shuttle us back to our cars at the end of the paddle.

Boats, gloves, trash bags, and paddle gear will be supplied by MountainTrue, Riverlink, and Asheville Greenworks. Bring some water, a hat, and sunscreen.

This event is a great opportunity to celebrate Father’s Day, make a tangible contribution to Asheville’s most important natural asset, and raise awareness about issues that affect the cleanliness of our French Broad River.

Food Services at the Mission

The food services at the Mission are quite unique in that the food is delicious and the entire public is welcome to join us for a meal, not just those staying in our living quarters.

Our cooks pride themselves on serving a square, hot meal that includes salad, meat and two veggies, as well as dessert, and in the summertime, you may find us outside having a cookout. This may be the only real meal some people get in a day, so we want people to walk away from us satisfied, nourished, and ready to deal with the challenges of their day.

 

Thursday Cook-outs Starting June 1st! 

Every summer, starting on the Thursday after Memorial Day, we serve our Thursday lunch at the Gospel Warehouse at 628 7th Ave East. We offer lunch at that location to serve the surrounding neighborhoods. We host these cook-outs all summer long until Labor Day. Like with all of our meals, they are free to the public.
