MLK Day 2021 Operation D.R.E.A.M. (Dedicated Readers Excel And Motivate)
Project begins January 18, 2021 and ends February 19, 2021.
In observance of MLK Day and wishing to bring forth Dr. Martin Luther King's message of freedom, equality, justice and love, CVNL is coordinating a community service project with a goal of giving 500 North Bay children and youth the gift of books to nourish their minds and the gift of snacks to nourish their bodies.
We are requesting your support by donating new books (at any level -- elementary, middle school or high school), or donating gift certificates to purchase new books. The themes of the books should reflect Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's key wishes for humanity, such as equality and peace. Each bag of gifts will contain approximately $25 worth of books. How many gift bags can you help to make?
Ways to help with book donations:
Order new books from bookstores and ship to one of CVNL's offices (addresses below).
Gift cards are a great way to participate in the program from the safety and comfort of your home. Send North Bay bookstores' gift cards by mail or email to CVNL so our staff can purchase books on your behalf (addresses below).

Mission Statement
We know that passion alone isn't enough when it comes to creating strong nonprofits. That's why we work with aspiring and established leaders every day to help them build the skills and connections that can take their impact to the next level. With confident and prepared leaders, our nonprofits will be better equipped to create healthy, happy communities. CVNL has engaged individuals in volunteerism continuously for more than 50 years and expanded to Napa county in July 2014. Every day, passionate individuals like you dedicate their work to advancing our communities, vulnerable populations, natural landscapes, and cultural institutions. But without the critical know-how in operational essentials like fundraising, board governance, and volunteer recruitment, their causes may fall short of their potential. CVNL brings local leaders the expert guidance and professional resources they need to build resilient, impactful organizations.
