Book sort report
A Big Thank You to Raising A Reader Volunteers!
Raising A Reader’s annual Book Sort was a tremendous success thanks to a record 67 volunteers!
The large groups that turned out on Sept. 14 and 15 made it possible to organize thousands of books and little red bags which will reach children and families across Alameda and San Francisco counties.
For the third consecutive year, the Book Sort was held in the Caltrans building warehouse in Oakland. The staff is especially grateful to Brigetta Smith, Abdullah Mahmud, and the entire Caltrans staff for extending a warm welcome and hosting the event. We are also thankful for the support of volunteers from Wells Fargo, Western Digital, and Girl Scout Troop 30646, as well as photographers Jamie Manley and Cris Nicole.
On behalf of the entire staff and the 10,000 families with which we partner, we extend our gratitude to everyone who helped out. The dedication and hard work was heart warming!
