 Join us on October 25th at our office in Quincy for an open house. Learn more about our program and what we can do together to fight the educational inequalities facing people incarcerated in the US.

| 2nd Annual Community Book Drive |
|
PLAN A DRIVE AT YOUR COMPANY, NEIGHBORHOOD, CHURCH, SCHOOL OR ANYWHERE ELSE YOU HANG OUT!
 Date: Early November
A community book drive is really many smaller drives. And you can run one! All you have to do is set up a place for people to drop off books, encourage them to do so and then bring the books to our gathering place.
Other ways to help:
- Go through your bookshelves and find books to donate.
- Volunteer to be on the planning committee.
Stay tuned to our website for more information.
Please contact info@prisonbookprogram.org for more information. |
