April is National Poetry Month: Pennies for Poetry

April is National Poetry Month!🖋📖 Just as we did last year, we have one of The Frost Place “Pennies for Poetry” jars out for collections during April.

Pennies for Poetry was launched as a fundraising campaign in 2018 to help keep The Frost Place, and all the wonderful programs they offer, up and running. The Frost Place is the former home of beloved poet Robert Frost, which is now a historic museum, as well as a center for poetry and the arts. The Frost Place, as a nonprofit, relies on donations to keep serving the community.✨

If you would like to contribute, you can stop by while you’re in town and throw some change in the jar. There is also a GoFundMe set up for online donations that you can find here:https://www.gofundme.com/the-frost-place-pennies-for-poetry

To find out more about The Frost Place, what they offer, and what they do, check out their website through the following link: https://frostplace.org/

April Penny Jar Proceeds Will Go To...

Penny Jar Proceeds for the month of April will be going towards Team Sullycat. ☘️😃

Team Sullycat is a foundation that serves families who have loved ones affected by cancer, and are going through treatment, in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and Northern New Hampshire. Team Sullycat provides support and care, through financial assistance, during the monetary hardships that cancer brings to families in our local communities every day. Our Penny Jar will be up through the month of April at our front counter if you would like to offer donations.

In addition, on April 12th the Little Village Toy & Book Shop team will be participating in the Cancer Free Spelling Bee. 🙂 This event is hosted by the UBCancer Free Fundraising team to raise money for the Sullycat Foundation. Participation enrollment is closed, but the public will be welcome to come watch. The event begins at 7 P.M. at the Littleton Elks Club (doors open for the public at 6:30 by donation).
