Asheville, NC — November 18, 2025: Ingles Markets, in partnership with Riteway Sales & Marketing and its CPG clients, will host a large-scale Thanksgiving meal giveaway on Tuesday, November 18, providing roughly 1,200 full turkey dinners to families across Western North Carolina impacted by the ongoing effects of last year’s storm devastation.
The event will take place from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Ingles located at 780 Hendersonville Rd, South Forest Shopping Center, Asheville, NC 28803.
Each family will receive a Thanksgiving meal for four, including a 15-lb turkey and all the fixings. The effort was made possible through donations totaling over $41,000 raised by Riteway Carolinas team and their clients.
Food insecurity continues to impact families long after natural disasters leave the headlines. Riteway is incredibly proud to partner with Ingles to support our community and ensure more families can sit down to a meaningful holiday meal.
The giveaway will be promoted by WLOS-TV and supported on air by the local iHeartRadio affiliate, helping to raise awareness and encourage participation from community members in need.
