Hundreds for Hinsdale book drive for the Hinsdale School in Winsted!

 As part of her Leadership Northwest program project, Founders Monique Abreu and fellow team mates developed "Hundreds for Hinsdale" a book drive to support the Hinsdale Elementary School in Winsted CT.

The team not only collected hundreds of books but also raised $505 in monetary donations from the community that was given to the school to purchase more books for the cause!  Congrats Monique on such a successful project!
