This weekend, The French Broad Food Co-op will host a Truckload Sale, the organization’s first of what it hopes to make an annual affair.
The Truckload Sale, hosted at the co-op’s 90 Biltmore Ave. address, won’t appeal to only grocery-shoppers. Three other local organizations will attend the start-of-spring sale, attracting more attention and supporting important community causes.
The grocery co-op will be offering discounts on its products, MANNA FoodBank will be accepting food donations, Brother Wolf will bring puppies for adoption and Fifth Season will celebrate the coming spring by selling garden supplies.
The sale begins at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, ending at 5 p.m. — and starts back up at noon on Sunday, March 15, closing at 5 p.m.
