Beginning November 1st, we are looking for volunteers or volunteer groups of any size willing to help us make progress toward getting new books ready for gifting before early December.
Each year, Hawaii Literacy distributes thousands of new books to client families from low-income communities. The books will have tags that parents can fill out and give directly to their kiddos (so gift books will be from mom and dad or grandma, etc.).
Gift books will be distributed at our Family Literacy Libraries program sites (in Kalihi public housing), at low-income and transitional housing sites along the Leeward Coast and around Honolulu (via our Bookmobile), and at the Waianae Christmas Parade.
DUTIES
- tie ribbon around books
- curl the ribbon ends
- attach gift tags
We'll provide all materials.
FLEXIBLE WORK SETTING
- Working in office: Volunteers are welcome to bring earphones and listen to their music, audiobooks, Netflix, etc. and work in our office OR if you'd like to come with a friend or group, we can schedule some time in our building's conference room for you, and you can chat and work together OR we also have a little outdoor lanai area that is really nice to work in!
- Out of office: We welcome you to pick up boxes of books and supplies and to take them with you to the setting of your choice. We apologize, but due to limited capacity, we are not able to drive the books to you or pick them up. We invite you to use our office space, as noted above.
