GIVING BACK
At 18 Chestnuts, we want to nourish our customers and our community as a whole. That’s why we’ve incorporated charity and community into our business model from day one.
We believe that children who understand and appreciate healthy, delicious food grow into adults who contribute to the health of their families and communities. To help make this vision a reality, we provide education to local children on cooking, nutrition, and the benefits of healthy food.
We also donate a portion of our profits to a local charity. Soup brings people together, and together, we can work to make our community better for all.
OUR CURRENT CHARITY
The first charity we’re supporting is 12 Baskets, a program of the Asheville Poverty Initiative.
It took many gallons of soup to perfect each of our soup flavors. The batches that didn’t quite make the cut (but which were still healthy and delicious!) were donated to this organization. This is just one small way we can contribute to the effort to curb hunger in our community.
We encourage our customers to assist us in our philanthropic efforts by considering a directed donation to this wonderful organization.
