of reading with brand new books for area children
ROCHESTER, Michigan, Wednesday, March 29, 2023: Looking for a great way to help make a difference for children in our community? You’ve got about one month to do so.
In an effort to help encourage children to read, consider donating brand new books, infant and K-6 levels, to Assistance League® of Southeastern Michigan’s annual Book Drive.
Chapter volunteers will collect new children’s books only in a drop box at the ReSale Connection store – 204 S. Main St. in downtown Rochester – through Monday, May 1.
In the past several years, the southeastern Michigan chapter has collected more than 37,000 books. They are distributed to children through the chapter’s philanthropic programs: Operation School Bell®, Wee Help, One-2-One Tutoring, Neighborhood House, as well as to local libraries, including the Rochester Hills Public Library book sale, Children’s Center of Detroit and Catholic Community Relief Team.
Need some suggestions? Please refer to our Wish List (attached).
