Ten years ago, Asheville Poverty Initiative, and with it 12 Baksets Cafe, was started with a mission to build community and educate about poverty. ?For the Next 10? is our campaign to build the future of our mission by investing in the next decade of transformation, connection, and community impact. As we look ahead, this campaign is more than fundraising?it?s a commitment to building an Asheville that recognizes our abundance, centers the voices of those with lived experience, and strengthens the relationships that make lasting change possible. Every gift helps ensure that we can continue to build a more connected and compassionate Asheville for the next 10 years.
