Join us for a night of poetry and fun in support of St. Paul's little free pantry initiative. Please bring a non-perishable food donation.

The little free pantry in front of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at 294 Main Street South, Woodbury, has become a key source of food for some area residents. To support this vital resource the church provides, Woodbury Poet Laureate Katie Baker and Orenaug Mountain Publishing are hosting a Bards Against Hunger poetry open mic on Tuesday, November 11, at 6 p.m. Readers and their guests are invited to bring non-perishable food donations to help stock the cabinet.

Among the items needed, are many of the most popular, including whole grain cereals, sugar free jam or jelly, instant oatmeal packets, canned tuna, spam, chicken, and other meats, canned vegetables, including low sodium and all kinds of beans, flavored rice and pasta packets, ramen noodles, juice boxes and bottles.

The theme for the month is heritage. Participants will have about five minutes each to read. Poets do not have to stick to the theme, but a food donation is required to participate in the open mic.
