Poetry with Purpose is happening in October 2026 at a date and location to be determined!

✨ Come for the Poetry, Stay for the Heart! ✨

Let’s be real: there are plenty of places to hear poetry, but how many events serve up soul, laughter, AND an open mic where your wildest haiku dreams come true? Enter: Poetry With Purpose Presented by Save Mart! 🎤💫

Poetry With Purpose is a gathering of survivors, artists, and allies who believe in the healing power of words, community, and a little bit of bravery.

We’re talking powerful performances that might make you laugh, cry, or snap your fingers so much you’ll need a hand massage. Expect open-mic magic, spontaneous haiku battles (yes, really), and a community that gives you a standing ovation just for showing up.

Most importantly, here, nobody has to heal alone. Whether you want to share your story, cheer on a friend, or soak up the vibes, there’s a seat saved just for you. 💛

Healing hearts that ache and yearn,

⏳ Takes gentle time and care to learn. 🤗

Since '77, HAVEN stands near,

A refuge for those seeking to heal and clear. 🌱✨

🤗 With open arms and a listening ear 👂

They offer hope 🌈 and dissolve fear. 💪

In warmth, compassion, and a judgment-free embrace 🫂💖

They light the path—a safer place. 🕯️✨

So listen. Connect. Feel at home. And bring your best poem—or your best laugh! We can’t wait to welcome you. 🌟✨ Come for the poetry, stay for the heart! ✨
