Poetry SLAM!

Poetry Slam to benefit MANNA food bank

We have another wonderful event on the horizon: a Soulspeak Poetry Slam!

This is a benefit for Manna Food Bank.

It’s Saturday, December 13th at 7pm at the RCS Auditorium.

You can hear Asheville’s best and brightest recite and share their poems.

A Benefit for Manna…

Many youth poets have toured MANNA and volunteered over the past few weeks to learn more about the issue of hunger in our community.

They will be presenting poems about this at the slam.

Last year they raised $1000 and over 5000 lbs. of food!

This year, they want to double that!

The acapella group from Asheville High will join them that evening, as well to share some holiday music.

It is going to be an amazing event.

Thank you for all your help and support.

We hope to see you there!

If you go:

PLEASE BRING FOOD DONATIONS!

Adults $15

Students & Teachers $10

Presented in partnership with Francine Delaney New School for Children and Asheville Youth Mission
