Festival of Shelters: September 27-October 4

Festival of Shelters | Sunday, Sept 27 - Oct 4 Vance Monument
Join BeLoved Asheville Seminary on the street; Walk in solidarity with our homeless friends.
This ancient Hebrew festival, Sukkot, celebrates the harvest with gratitude and remembers our neighbors who struggle with homelessness as winter approaches. It calls us to resist the lies that separate us from each other. It calls us to resist gentrification and advocate for housing, community, and hope! This will be a time to reduce the distance between us and friends on the street, a time to reflect and pray, a time to resist forces that hurt our homeless friends, and to continue to educate and advocate for solutions to homelessness. For more information, contact Rev. Amy Cantrell, 242-8261.
