Volunteers for the 4/25 Children's Book Harvest
Where there is a need, the Timbers Army shows up. It was a full capacity of 32 volunteers who spent 4 hours on a beautiful Saturday afternoon to help clean and prepare nearly 1000 books that will be distributed to area children who have few or no books at home. This is the final push for the Children's Book Bank Book Harvest to complete the task of making ready the 30,000+ donated books by April 30.
Help is still needed for the final day of work on Thursday, April 30 from 9 AM - 12 PM and 1 PM - 4 PM. Sign up for here for the Last Book Cleaning Events if you are available.
Moving the boxes of books onto the pallets for distribution will be May 13 and 14 from 9 AM to 4 PM. Please email Shawn Jaquiss at shawn@childrensbookbank.org if you can help during any of those hours.
Again, thank you to all the volunteers who made the day extraordinary and for supporting literacy in Portland.
