Storybook Project

2011 Synod Assembly In-Kind Offering     

The Storybook Project of the Prisoner & Family Ministry program (sponsored by Lutheran Social Services of IL) helps parents who are incarcerated, remain connected to their children.  Volunteers record parents reading books, the books and recordings are then sent to the child.  Supplies collected will be used by volunteers and participants at the Dixon, IL Correction Center.

 

Items we are collecting:

· New paperback books for children 0 to 15 yrs old.

· Blank CD's (CD-R)

· Mailing envelopes in several sizes (6.5 x 9.5; 7.5 x 10.5; 9 x 12)

· Plastic or paper sleeves for CDs

 All items must be dropped off in the Welcome Ctr by June 12, 2011.
