👋Some familiar friends and new faces from Chase are in the house, cleaning and prepping gently used books to be distributed to Nevada's children in need. Thousands of books are circulated in and out of our warehouse daily and we rely on the support from generous corporations like Chase to help us get books into the hands and homes of children in underserved communities. Thank you so much! 👋

Our themed Book Preps have been nothing short of amazing. From channeling our inner Taylor Swift to feeling the force with Star Wars, we've loved prepping gently used books for kids in underserved areas. Thank you to everyone who has not only volunteered but also dressed up in character and brought their A-game to our trivia sessions! What themed Book Prep do you want to see STWN do next? 😁

In Nevada, non-proficient third graders are four times more likely to drop out of high school, but together we can change that! By becoming a monthly donor, you can help kids like Johnny achieve the bright future they deserve. Your generosity will ensure that young, struggling readers from families battling poverty have immediate access to books, boosting their confidence and increasing their chances of graduating high school. Let's change lives, one book at a time! 📖 To get started email Brittany, our development manager, at brittany@stwn.org or tap here: https://lnkd.in/gB8-3JeH
