Habitat Breakfast Fundraiser
Local chefs will prepare plates reflective of home at Asheville Habitat for Humanity’s “Blueprint Breakfast for Dinner” event on Thursday, October 13, 2022.
Stable, healthy housing is a blueprint for a vibrant community. That’s why Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity has invited some of Asheville’s culinary best to provide a fun evening of delicious, creative cuisine and craft beverages in support of one of our region’s most pressing issues—housing.
The event takes place at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 13 at Rabbit Rabbit, 75 Coxe Ave. in downtown Asheville. Sponsors include Wells Fargo, members of the board of the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, Kevin Click and April Liou, Cassie Dillon, Terminix, and an anonymous donor.
The local chefs will serve breakfast-inspired dishes that reflect the different perspectives of what “home” means to each of the featured chefs. Participants include Ladies Who Brunch chefs Terri Terrell, Michele Gentille, and Beth Kellerhals; Asheville Taco Truck Late Night Snack; Tastee Diner chef Steven Goff; The Restoration Hotel chef Daniel Nightingale; Chestnut chef Brian Crow; Holeman & Finch chef Linton Hopkins; Smoky Park Supper Club chef Michelle Bailey; and The Hop’s Ashley Garrison.
“In my early teens I had the opportunity to be a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity building houses alongside community members and the soon-to-be homeowners,” says Terri Terrell of Ladies Who Brunch. “To be able to give back to Habitat for Humanity, a vital local and global nonprofit, thirty-five years later through my life’s passion of creating food that nourishes and is accessible to everyone is the ultimate privilege.”
Festivities include music from the Firecracker Jazz Band, two complimentary drinks, cash bar, raffle, door prizes, and stories from Habitat homeowners. Proceeds will help pay for the construction of an affordable, energy-efficient home in Habitat’s multi-generational New Heights neighborhood in West Asheville.
“Wells Fargo is proud to provide financial support for the construction, renovation, or repairing of homes for low-to-moderate income households,” said Rodrick Banks, Vice President, Community Relations. “Since 2010, Wells Fargo and the Wells Fargo Foundation have provided nearly $120 million to Habitat for Humanity International and its affiliates, including the Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity. Habitat is a great source of pride for our employees, and many of us are looking forward to getting back to volunteering this year through our work with Habitat.”
Breakfast is arguably the most important meal, considered a strong foundation for a good day. Similarly, stable, affordable housing is the foundation of a thriving community.
