ABCCM Vets Shelter Hosts TailGate Farmers Market Every Wednesday 3-6PM

The ABCCM Veterans Restoration Shelter at 1329 Tunnel Rd. has a farmers tailgate market in the parking lot next to Zaxby's every Wednesday 3-6PM to sell local organically grown produce at a reduced rate to raise money for the shelter. Much of the produce is grown in a managed, organic garden at the shelter under the supervision and direction of leading organic farmers in this region. The Veterans Shelter houses 225 men on an ongoing basis while getting them back on their feet, employed, and empowered with the life skills needed to cope with everyday situations. It is a one of a kind program to help Veterans and Asheville is proud to be a part of that pilot program. Please read more about it under this site and donate today.
