First Book Seeks Donations to Provide New Books to Children Affected by Hurricane Sandy
November 05, 2012
For the children who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy, books could serve as precious lifelines at a time when normalcy does not seem to be accessible. First Book is asking for supporters to make donations. For every $2.50 gift, the organization will be able to provide two new books to a child in need.
"As first-responders are working to provide these families with electricity, water, and other critical resources, First Book—in partnership with our local volunteers and partners—is raising funds to restock school and home libraries. After distributing more than 5 million books in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we know new books can be valuable lifelines for those whose worlds have been turned upside down."
