Poetry With Purpose, presented by Save Mart - our first ever Arts focused fundraiser! This isn't just poetry... It's a gathering of voices, live music, and a celebration of what happens when creativity meets advocacy!
Expect powerful performances from the Modesto Artists Movement, open-mic moments, and the warmth of being surrounded by people who believe that healing is possible and that no one should have to go it alone.
.
**BE PART OF THE NIGHT**
- Attend - bring a friend and let yourself be moved.
- Sponsor - businesses and individuals can help champion survivor support.
- Share - step up to the mic to offer your voice & share our event.
.
Your presence funds services, spreads awareness, and lets survivors know they are seen.

**ABOUT HAVEN**
HAVEN (Healthy Alternatives to Violent Environments) is a private, non-profit organization that serves over 2,500 individuals impacted by domestic or sexual abuse or exploitation annually. Year after year, the need continues to increase. Over the years, we have expanded our services beyond emergency shelter and crisis assistance to include long-term housing for survivors.
HAVEN has also opened a youth center, creating prevention programs focusing on youth and young adults. As a part of this, the Healthy and Responsible Relationship Troop (HARRT) staff and peer educators have presented to over 1,600 local youth.
Unfortunately, grants provide only a minimum level of funding to address the needs of our community. We rely on YOU and the funds raised through events like this one to make a genuine difference. Please help us prevent violence and support survivors in their healing process.
