Donate New or Lightly Used Children's Books
ORGANIZATION: Volunteer New York!
Please visit the new page to apply.
Many families are struggling with medical and financial burdens that result in little or no exposure to literacy for their preschool children. Research shows that reading aloud at this age fosters academic success and avoids the language delays that hamper children's progress in school. The OPEN BOOK program brings supportive and caring reading volunteers to the out patient clinic at Westchester Medical Center. You can play a big role in supporting this program by donating a new or gently used book for preschool children. Hard covered books for babies are especially needed!
By expressing interest in this opportunity, your registration is not complete. You must individually sign up for this project by going to:
