“BASKET CASE TRIVIA NIGHT” AT THE WHALE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY CAFÉ
Asheville Poverty Initiative invites the community to Basket Case Trivia Night on Friday, September 12th at The Whale in West Asheville. The celebration kicks off at 5:00 p.m. with trivia beginning at 6:00 p.m. Neighbors are encouraged to bring a friend, grab a drink, and enjoy an evening of fun while supporting a local cause.
The event will feature five rounds of themed trivia, prizes for the top teams, baked goods for sale from local bakery Back Porch Baking Co., and plenty of laughs. All proceeds benefit Asheville Poverty Initiative, which operates 12 Baskets Café, a pay-nothing café in West Asheville where everyone is welcome at the table.
Proceeds from this event will help sustain the café’s mission of sharing abundance and building community across differences. This event is part of The Whale’s Monthly Round Up, where customers can round up their tab at checkout to support 12 Baskets Café throughout September.
“Basket Case Trivia Night is about bringing people together, whether over food, drink, or laughter, and reminding us that community is built when we show up for one another,” said Shelly Baker, communications and outreach coordinator at Asheville Poverty Initiative.
Asheville Poverty Initiative works to reduce the experience of poverty in Asheville through education, resource sharing, and community-building initiatives. Its flagship program, 12 Baskets Café, transforms recovered food into free meals, creating a space where people from all walks of life gather as neighbors.
