WPBP’s ANNUAL PANCAKE BREAKFAST & BOOK SALE

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 25, for our annual pancake breakfast and book sale. Eat pancakes, gather with neighbors, and make sure that people incarcerated in Minnesota and across the country can continue to receive vital books and resources that they request.

We believe that a future beyond mass incarceration and state violence requires all of us working together. That’s why all the proceeds from our book sale will go to Neighbors Helping Neighbors to continue ongoing support for immigrant families in our community.

Come to New City Center (3104 16th Ave S.) anytime between 8a and noon. It’s pay what you can, with a sliding scale, suggested donation between $10-$20 for adults and $5 for kids. Cash, cards, and check accepted at the door.

THANK YOU FROM OUR READERS

“I want to thank you all for your dedication and perseverance in helping us ‘forgotten ones’… Some people may take your endeavors for granted…. But I sincerely appreciate your support. I sit alone in a Solitary Confinement Administrative Segregation 23.5 hours a day lockdown… and books are my way outside these steel stone walls.”

“Dear Women’s Prison Book Project, thank you so much for the books. They have touched me in so many ways. They have been supportive and encouraging on my journey to help me as I go forward and grow in my spirit. I appreciate your giving and kindness.”






“All in all, you have helped me in your gifts to keep my sanity in such a crazy, chaotic place. I am forever indebted to you and yours for these gifts. I have been receiving books from you for quite some time now and feel blessed for the opportunities you have given me to expand my mind as well as my life.
