Toys are broken and clothes are outgrown ...
but the impact of books lasts a lifetime.
but the impact of books lasts a lifetime.
The volunteer organization “Write On! For Literacy” is holding its Tenth Annual Holiday Book Drive to benefit underprivileged children! Last year we collected nearly 1,000 books (bringing our grand total to more than 12,000 books!) that were distributed to various schools and charities including the Boys & Girls Club, Casa Pacifica, and Project Understanding. Please do your part to help children have a better holiday season. Help beat illiteracy and give the gift that lasts forever: the gift of reading!
Want to get involved?- Mail book donations to the Write On! chapter headquarters: 400 Roosevelt Court, Ventura, CA, 93003
- You can also mail monetary donations that will be used to purchase books to the above address. (Checks made out to Dallas Woodburn.)
- Start a chapter in your area! Donate books to a local charity -- Boys & Girls Clubs are usually very grateful for donations -- and then e-mail me the total number of books donated which will be added to our grand-total.
Many thanks to our recent generous contributors!
