JUNE 7 - VOLUNTEER WITH CBSC AND BOOKS THROUGH BARS
Join us on Saturday, June 7th as we volunteer with Books through Bars. We will meet at CBSC at 10:25am and carpool to Books Through Bars where we will volunteer from 11am-2pm. Afterwards we will head back to CBSC for a late lunch. If you are interested in volunteering, please RSVP by Monday, June 2nd to csbctr@gmail.com. More information about the organization can be found below.
Books through Bars founded in 1989 when an employee of New Society Publishers began receiving and answering book requests from indigent prisoners, in an effort to address the lack of educational resources and programming made available to prisoners hoping to use the time of their imprisonment to effect positive change in their lives. The organization has grown since then and receives approximately 1200 letters and requests from prisoners each month. Volunteers read letters from prisoners requesting educational materials, search through the library of donated books for a good match, and package the books for mailing. If you are interested in learning more about the organization, visit their website at http://www.booksthroughbars.org/
