LONG post alert 🚨
First: we want to send all of our champions a heartfelt THANK YOU for standing with us this year! We know that you have many choices of wonderful organizations to support, and we are honored that you selected Read4Unity as one of them🙏🏼📚
In 2022, your generosity allows us to donate over 🌟📚2700📚🌟 brand new diverse k-12 books to communities and classrooms all over the United States and other parts of the world! That brings us to a total of 6700 books since our inception in July 2020!
Where do we distribute/donate the books?
K-12 teachers who requested books via our website.
Many little free library units in metro ATL public parks, in elementary school grounds, community centers, and our own Read4Unity library at Refuge Coffee in Clarkston GA!
We also donate books to our partner organizations: @mvkatl @jollyavegarden @alif_institute @thelifeschoolatl @dcdreamcenter @statesboroymca @alexanderprepacademy @beschoolcommunity @dcdreamcenter
Your generosity on GIVING TUESDAY & YEAR END campaign allows us to donate a total of ONE THOUSAND MORE BOOKS in early 2023 to the same partners above! That’s over 110 books for each org. 🎉 A huge shoutout goes out to our main champions and partners who dedicate time and resources for our mission: @melindaslittlelibrary, @joinnest, @detectivewordy, @refugecoffeeco, Emily from Georgetown Law, AND @littlefreelibrary. We couldn’t have done it without you!💙🙏🏼 And @ksurarebooks @gsuc100 @gsublackbookclub: your partnerships are so crucial & greatly appreciated!!
🌟What’s in store for 2023?🌟
We are partnering with @mrssouthernstatesuw2023 to expand access to diverse books nationwide! Our goal is to donate 6000 books in 2023 to our partners. It’s a hefty goal but with your help, we can do this!!
Please consider joining us in this effort by:
