What’s better than brunch? Brunch that gives back.

On Sunday, May 7, local nonprofit PubCorps launches its monthly Sunday Brunch meal packing event. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., volunteers will work together to assemble 50,000 meals for kids and their families right here in WNC — and true to PubCorps fashion, you’ll receive a free beer after volunteering.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. DJ5 and Jamie Munn will perform DJ sets to get you in your meal-packing groove. Plus, SmashBalls will open on-site at noon to fuel your volunteer efforts.

Sunday Brunch takes place at The Railyard, a new taproom and community hub in Black Mountain. It’s the home of PubCorps, created by The Railyard’s founder, John Richardson.
