Stuff the Bus book drive is being held at Athene on Tuesday, May 13th from 11:30am to 1pm. Our goal is to collect 30,000 books for children from birth to middle school. (Our greatest need is for early childhood books -- birth to age 8.) Books are donated to childcare centers and child-serving programs in Dallas, Polk, and Warren counties to help us reach our goals in the area of Education Success.
For more information on participating in the book drive visit our website: https://www.unitedwaydm.org/news/events/stuff-the-bus
Volunteers are needed at United Way after the book drive to assist in sorting books into pre-determined categories. By sorting the books on Wednesday, May 14th, it will make it easier for the community to navigate the room in a safe and efficient way ensuring they find the age appropriate books for the youth they serve during the distribution days.
Volunteers will continued to be needed during distribution days (starting Thursday, May 15th) to help keep the room tidy and assist community members as they come in to pick up their books.
Volunteers are welcome to sign-up for more than one shift!
