My Nonprofit Reviews

I began volunteering to be a guest reader several years ago with Book'em during Read Me Day. As I learned more about Book'em I wanted to do more. This organization provides free books to public school children who likely do not have books of their own at home. They are passionate about their mission and give away thousands of books a year to children from kindergarten to high school seniors.
Now I volunteer regularly at a local school to read to one class of children throughout the school year. It's so rewarding, the children get so excited when they see me come into the room. They are engaged when I read and always participate in discussions afterwards. Of course they are excited to pick out a book of their own to take home.
Now Book'em has a bus that will be able to go to where children are in their neighborhoods and pass out books. It's brightly painted, kid friendly and packed with books.
I so love this organization that I asked to serve on the board and be a part of planting the seed to make life long readers.
Book'em is always among a select group of non-profits that I support financially every year.
