Tickets are $45 each and there is no limit on the number you may purchase.
Tickets for our 2024 Table for Three raffle will go on sale March 15, 2024! Table for Three is MANNA’s partnership with the Asheville-area’s nationally-recognized independent restaurant scene. You could win an incredible grand prize: a meal for two at 52 of the Asheville-area’s top local restaurants. That’s a year’s worth of dining out at a value of more than $3,000!
The best part is that each ticket supports MANNA’s vital work to provide food to Western North Carolina neighbors struggling to make ends meet. With every ticket sold, we can provide enough food to feed one person a daily meal … for more than an entire year. That’s why we call it Table for Three!
TICKETS ARE $124
Table for Three raffle tickets are $124 each. This is a very intentional ticket price: $124 is what it costs MANNA to feed one person a meal a day for more than one year. With every ticket purchased, you help set the table for a neighbor facing food insecurity.
THE GRAND PRIZE
The winner will receive gift certificates to 52 different Asheville-area restaurants. The gift certificates are transferrable, so you can share them with friends and family, give them as client gifts, or, of course, use them all yourself!
Gift certificates do not include tax or gratuity and cannot be used for alcohol. Some restaurants may limit use during holidays or special events. Certificates can be used for dine-in or carry-out service in cases where the restaurant offers the carry-out option.
THE WINNER
A single winner will be drawn via livestream on MANNA’s Facebook page on or before Friday, May 15. All raffle ticket holders will be notified in advance of the exact day and time of the drawing. Ticketholders do not need to be tuned into the livestream to win. The winner will be asked to come to MANNA (on a day and time following the drawing, and agreed upon by the winner and MANNA), to claim their prize. And then … let the dining begin!
THE FINE PRINT
Tickets are $124 each. The drawing will take place on/before May 15, 2024, via livestream on MANNA’s Facebook page. Only 500 tickets will be sold. This is a fundraising project, and all ticket sales benefit MANNA FoodBank. Tickets may be sold to MANNA employees, board members, and other affiliated individuals. The Table for Three Raffle is open only to those who are 18 years of age or older as of March 14, 2023, and who possess a valid government-issued ID.

Democrats need to be more actively messaging and to overcome the makers of fake news with the truth! Join this ongoing group of writers working together on Letters to the Editor and Opinion Editorials. We’ll discuss the issues we care about most deeply and craft a plan to respond to events as they occur in real time. The group meets every other Monday for writing, responding to one another’s work, scheduling submissions and exploring media outlets across the state.
“Rant with purpose. Support with facts. Propel action.” – Myra Schoen
Who should attend: Buncombe County Democrats!
Bring your laptops and fully-charged cellphones for this in-person phone bank session! We will be making calls to increase voter participation throughout Buncombe County during these regularly scheduled phone banks on Monday evenings and Tuesday mornings.
If you don’t have a laptop, we have several at HQ, so just be sure to bring your email login information so we can get you started. If you already have an Action ID User ID & password, bring those as well. (If you don’t have one, we’ll help you get set up with one after you arrive.)
After making calls at HQ, you’ll be encouraged to continue making calls from the comfort of your home afterwards.
We will have plenty of refreshments on hand, and we hope you’ll keep coming back, because this phone banking community is growing and having lots of fun!
Who should attend: Democrats and left-leaning unaffiliated voters welcome!

Our greatest need is for advocates who provide emotional support on our 24/7 crisis line and offer hospital accompaniment to survivors of recent assaults. Once volunteers have completed the 20-hour required training, they can sign up for on-call shifts. Volunteers are always on-call with a staff member as backup. In order to protect advocate privacy Our Voice utilizes a call service which routes calls to your personal phone so you can be at home during your shift. Before filling out the application please read over the volunteer advocate position description.
Be a minimum of 18 years old
Have reliable transportation
Have a reliable cell phone
Have reliable internet/email
Take crisis line calls during assigned shifts
Assist callers in crisis and provide clients with appropriate referrals to Our Voice services or other community agencies.
Go to the hospital with survivors after a sexual assault
Respond to hospital accompaniment calls within 30 minutes and provide all survivors of sexual assault information regarding options and procedures.
Take a minimum of 2 shifts each month
Volunteers will be able to sign up for shifts through the schedule on our online portal. Shifts are weekdays 5pm-8am and weekends/holidays 8am-8pm or 8pm-8am.
Participate in continued education at least once a year
Continued education trainings will be offered twice a year and advertised through email and our online portal.
Complete a 20 hour advocate training prior to taking shifts
This training is a requirement in order to maintain advocate privilege. We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of 6 months on the crisis line following training.
