Book Donations Make a Difference - Hobbies On A Budget

Book Donations Make a Difference ? #NickCFK #CBias

September 28, 2012 ? Books

I have three kids that have a great selection of books here at home. They love to read and enjoy exploring new worlds inside the cover of a book. So last week I took the opportunity to talk to the director of our local Sunrise Children?s Home. We decided it would be a great idea to gather some gently loved children?s books to bring to the children that they work with who don?t have the same access to books that my kids have. I put out the word to our local community of readers and ended up with a huge box of Goosebumps chapter books, Dora the Explorer, Sponge Bob, Teenage Turtles, and more.

About the Book Donations

Because children in crisis situations are often not able to concentrate on their reading skills and educational goals, sometimes an activity book or coloring book with a popular character is just the thing needed to get them excited about reading. You can hop over and look at some of the books I found last week in Walmart when I first decided to look for some books for the Sunrise Children?s Home.

About Sunrise Children?s Home

Sunrise Children?s Services is a private provider of care to children who have suffered abuse and neglect. Licensed by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services and accredited by the Joint Commission, Sunrise operates a statewide network of residential centers and therapeutic foster homes. Currently, Sunrise serves over 500 children each day and thousands every year.

We gathered up the books and took them to the director today.

You can see my whole shop experience in pictures on my Google+ photo album.
