As many remember, 12 Baskets Cafe used to offer sit-down meals five days a week. COVID forced us to pantry days. We have heard from the community a desire for more sit-down days, but we also recognize the benefit of grocery days.
Recently, our friends at Salvation Army opened a food pantry just down the street at 750 Haywood Road. We’ve been working with them to refer our pantry operations there. This could mean community members would have access to both sit-down and pantry days each day of the week!
We will run a trial week of this arrangement from Monday, June 3 to Friday, June 7. 12 Baskets Cafe will be open for sit-down meals on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 11a-1p. We will not do pantry days that week. Salvation Army will be open for pantry access on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9a-2:30p and Friday from 9a-1p.
We will see how things go that week and make a decision on our schedule moving forward. We are excited to build this new partnership!
