Our goal is to donate 500 books to children in need to promote literacy and creativity in children and teenagers of all financial backgrounds and ages. In order for us to reach this goal we are reaching out to the community; to donate a book go to any one of the locations listed below and place your book (old or new) in the donations box. We also hope to hold a community book drive to collect the books and then another book drive to distribute them for free! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and thank you so much for your support!
