Reading for All Book Sort

After another successful Holiday Book Drive "12,000 books in 12 days", Marion County received over 21,000 books.  Now, Reading for All needs your help to clean, sticker and sort books by reading levels, and packed the books for distribution to partners in Marion County.

Our first goal in 2013 is to sort 7000 books, which will be distributed by Marion Polk Food Share during their annual "Spring Break Free Lunch for All."  Last year, MPFS distributed over 6800 free lunches and books to children under the age of 18 in 46 locations in Marion and Polk counties.
Here are the upcoming book sort dates for the Month of February.  Volunteers can volunteer for a single session or multiple sessions, and no orientation is required.  Youth volunteers are encourage and should be accompanied by an adult. 

All the book sort activities will be at our Keizer warehouse located 4120 River Road N. Keizer, OR. 97303.
