My Nonprofit Reviews

For several years I had worked as a volunteer at our church Food Pantry.
One day when I showed up for work I was surprised to find a bookcase filled with children's books, a hall tree bedecked with brightly colored bags and a sign that read "PoWer Books". Obviously I needed some answers to this!
I was given a briefing about how it works and the pantry opened for business.
One of our first customers was a mom with a young son of about 6 years. He was as fascinated by the books as I had been! I explained to him about the books while mom shopped. His eyes got huge and he said "You mean I get to keep the book? I have never had a book of my own!"
"Yes," I answered, "And the next time you come to the pantry you can select another book to keep!"
Well, he was hooked and so was I!
As a retired teacher I was well aware of the importance of reading to help a child expand their world. I just needed to know how I could get involved with this PoWer Books Organization and be of help to them.
As a POWer volunteer I now do whatever I can to ensure their future success.
Give a child a book and it can unlock their world!
