Front Porch Forum hosts online newsletters in every town in Vermont. Neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, and government officials can post messages, share news, get advice, make recommendations, announce events, sell items, and much more. It's all about helping neighbors to connect and build community.


Each week, one posting is selected for its humor, storytelling, or community-building, and then shared throughout the state. And, now you can read it here in The Bridge Weekly.

Cindy shared this announcement in the Woodbury Forum. We thought it "served up" some great inspiration for community connection and was well worth a share:

"During the winter months on 3rd Tuesdays at 5:30 pm, come to the warm Woodbury Town Hall to enjoy a community potluck meal. Bring a dish to share and your own table service (plate, cup, utensils). Some of you are renowned for making your own special dish, and this is your chance to shine!

"We gather together monthly to seek joy in the company of others on dark, cold winter nights, to make supper easy, and to share what we have with our community during times of food insecurity. If bringing a dish of food is a hardship for you, please do not let that keep you from coming. All are welcome."
