Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Asheville Poverty Initiative aims to build community and promote economic justice: dismantling stereotypes, reducing fear, and empowering hope through telling stories across socio-economic difference. We envision a beloved community that celebrates mutuality, abundance, and justice.

  • Each week 12 Baskets Caf serves lunch 2 days and provides grocery takeaway 2 days to all who come at no charge, serving donated/rescued food provided by local restaurants, food services, grocery stores, and farms. In 2023 the Caf served over 22,000 meals and rescued approximately 120,000 pounds of food.

    Expenses $162,314 · Grants $4,500 · Revenue $600

  • API's Realities of Poverty Education Programs include group discussions, panels, and tours of places in downtown Asheville a homeless person might visit in a day. Groups can include schools, colleges, churches, civic groups, or interested individuals. The programs are led by our Poverty Educators, giving voice and leadership opportunities to people with life experiences of poverty to educate others as to the causes and challenges of poverty. This program was re-started in October 2023 with a dedicated coordinator and provided 3 programs to 22 participants in October and November.

  • 12 Baskets Caf also provides hosted meeting space for community groups outside of food serving hours. Affinity groups include people creating art and music, sharing creative writings, playing chess, discussing important local topics, or just watching a movie together. Started in September, this program quickly grew to 30 meetings per month.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
