Come join us this Saturday,
August 2nd
for our 2nd annual J.A. Book Giveaway during
Warren County School System's Back-to-School Kickoff
at Three Star Mall from 9am until noon.
Through this project, we are able to distribute hundreds of books to children from all over the community. Each child that visits our booth can pick out one book that they like to take home with them.
Last year, for our first time around, we collected and distributed over 300 books free to kids who came by our booth at the event...this year we have over 1,000 to give away!
We see this as an opportunity for the kids to pick out books that they would like to read...not just a book that they've been assigned to read. We hope that through this project we are able to encourage kids to learn to love reading...and maybe give them an appreciation for charity and giving along the way.
We'll see you there!
