Calling On Area DJs and Artists To Help Fight Hunger and Homelessness

Every Hanukah/Christmas/Kwanzaa Holiday Season, we here at The Light Nation organize a Holiday Drive to help people in Atlantic City, Philadelphia and the communities in between.

This year we have several events that we hope will draw out record breaking support to help some very good people.


The newest Holiday tradition we would like to start is called
The Hip Hop Holiday: DJs and Artists Against Hunger!

The good people of Ventnor Coffee have offered us a space to come and celebrate the holiday season with area DJs. 

We are going to be asking the best DJs to come through and spin.
People attending are asked to bring in donations of cash, canned goods for the food bank and new gloves, socks and or hats for The Covenant House. Generally we collect new toys as well...any toys brought that day will go directly to Toys For Tots through Ventnor Coffee. We will collect new toys at other events!


Also at this event The Light is sponsoring a Hip Hop Holiday art contest with a cash prize to the winner!


For DJs that do not get a chance to play at this event, we ask that you attend and get in on some great board games and card games.


We are determined to make this holiday season festive and happy for all.


Suggested donation for this event is $10. However, no one will be turned away. We sincerely request that you do come ready to support Ventnor Coffee by buying desserts and beverages.


We will be announcing raffle/auction gifts as we move closer to the event.


If you would like to volunteer to co-host or help out.

Please contact Raymond Tyler at 609-431-0741.

Poetry Nation: Faleeha Hassan

Otto Bruyns Public Library is proud to welcome acclaimed poet Faleeha Hassan.

In 1991, Hassan became the first woman in her home city of Najaf, in Iraq, to publish a book of poetry, titled Because I Am a Girl.

Hassan went on to publish 15 more books of poetry, several plays, two novels and dozens of short stories.

In 2011, her name landed on a militant group's death list. She fled to Turkey with her two youngest children. In August 2012, they moved to New Jersey. There, Hassan taught herself English online, and she has been writing prolifically in her adopted language ever since.
