Helping Low Income People Access Books of Interest

Posted on Blog by Carolyn Thompson · January 10, 2019 8:48 AM

Poor people are least likely to have books in their homes.  Thus perpetuating the legacy of poverty.   Your book donations make a difference.

  • Case management, crisis intervention, and referral services
  • Choice Food Pantry
  • Mobile Market (produce distribution)
  • Clothing, shoes, and diapers
  • Parent Education and Empowerment Group (Abriendo Puertas)
  • Financial Education classes
  • Rent, Mortgage and Utility Assistance
  • Financial assistance for single mothers with cancer
  • Immigration Legal Services
  • Services for pregnant women

More than 400 books were delivered on a single day.
