Hello all, I am participating in this project below and it does not matter where you live you can donate the books because they are being ordered online! If you have a worthy project that other homeschooling families can participate in this upcoming holiday season please email me! Thanks, Tabbi
Goal: Provide a new book to every foster child in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque) this Christmas.
In conjunction with the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department, I am trying to raise over 500 new books to give one to every foster child in the Albuquerque area this holiday season. These children quite often come from homes that do not value or encourage literacy. Many of them may not even own a book or have a library card. We want to help encourage them in their reading. Sometimes, just getting one book can make all the difference. You can help us make a difference in the lives of these children. You can help FOSTER LITERACY!
It takes only one decision to help. One person making a difference. One child’s life that is changed forever, one book at a time.
There are great ways for you to help accomplish this goal:
1.
Donate books: Go to the e-fair at www.ubah.com/BF22251 , go to wish lists (at the top of the page) and type in Foster Literacy NM, and purchase a book or two on the list to donate to this effort. Please specify that your donated books be shipped to the organization. Each book costs $5.24 with tax. (There are no shipping charges on donated books shipped to the organization.) For every 2 books you donate through the e-fair, Usborne Books will match it with an additional donated book. Note: there are multiple copies of books on the wish list, so the book may remain on the list even after you purchase it, but the system will track how many have been purchased. Your credit card for these donated books will not be charged until we close the e-fair and all of the books have shipped, sometime in late October or early November.
2.
Shop for your own children: You can go to the e-fair at www.ubah.com/BF22251 and do some holiday shopping for the children in your life. For every $10 you spend through the e-fair, Usborne Books will donate one book to Foster Literacy NM! Usborne offers amazing books for kids of all ages, including over 200 internet-linked books. There are over 1300 books in the catalog, and 75% are under $10. Our books and kid kits make excellent gifts. By shopping through the e-fair for your family, you will help us earn more books. Please specify that your personal orders be shipped directly to you or the intended recipient. You will be charged standard shipping charges on these orders (8% with a $5 minimum). These orders will ship within a day or two after you place the order and your credit card will be charged when they ship. If you need recommendations on which titles would be perfect for your children, e-mail me at TabithaOrr@myubah.com and I will be happy to make some recommendations.
3.
Let others know: Share the e-mail with anyone else you know who encourages literacy in kids and would love to help out the foster children. This may include friends, family, neighbors, co-workers, teachers, doctors, etc.
4.
Corporate support: If you know of a business that would like to help with this, please share this e-mail with the decision makers. The company can donate books by purchasing through the e-fair as explained above. Local businesses can also help by allowing me to sell books to their employees in a book fair or passing around a catalog and collecting orders from the employees. Usborne Books will donate books equal to 50% of the sales total of these orders.
With your assistance we can help these children have a bright future. Please be generous and donate a book or place an order today. If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact me at (505) 792-4110 or TabithaOrr@myubah.com
