You Can Create a Love of Reading

Hi Friends,

We have an exciting way to bring happiness to children through the gift of reading.

Our older children's book inventory is low and we have 286 children ages 10 - 12 that are looking forward to receiving books in their birthday boxes. Each child receives 4 books so that is 1,144 books in total for the year.
 
There are three ways you can donate to provide books for children. 

1. You can drop off books at HSP, Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM.

2. Jennifer has created an Amazon Wishlist to make your shopping easy. You are welcome to click HERE and have them shipped to our center. Or pick out a book you know that a child will really enjoy reading.

3. We can do the shopping for you. You can donate online by clicking HERE, (please add a note for books) or you can mail or drop off a check. We can purchase books wholesale for $2.00 per book and we receive a bigger discount when we buy in bulk.  

If you have any questions please email Jennifer, the Children's Project Coordinator at children@hsp.agency or call 630-221-8340.

This year for Valentine's day my hubby, Dean and I enjoyed picking out books for our seven grandchildren. We had an extra special moment when we selected a book for our grandson who will make his appearance in March. 

Every child deserves to have the opportunity to fall in love with reading, and to have a library of books they can call their very own.  

Yours in Love and Service, 
 
Kristin Senne
Executive Director
