The weirdo swarm converged on Asheville, NC to support Asheville Poverty Initiative, an incredible local organization which operates 12 Baskets Cafe 4 days a week serving the local community hot meals as well as providing access to a food pantry.

Many friends who joined the Asheville Day Rave meetup brought items to contribute. Donations included 10 "everything but the turkey" holiday meals and approximately 450 non-perishable items for use at the non-profit, totaling around 320 lbs of food.

An incredible show of support for a valuable charity providing important services in a time of great need - this giveaway took place during a period USA SNAP benefits were suspended, and many continue to have lacking benefits even when reinstated - making charities like Asheville Poverty Initiative which help bridge significant gaps so appreciated!
