DONATE TO THE ANNUAL BOOK DRIVE - HELP PROVIDE BOOKS TO HOME-BASED FAMILY CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IN YORK CITY
The Literacy Committee invites members to participate in our Annual Book Drive during the month of March. Your donations will help to purchase books to be distributed to children in York. This year our recipients are Home-Based Family Child Care Providers in York City. Home based family care providers are typically women taking care of up to five children in their home and are licensed by the Department of Human Services. Just like centers, they earn Keystone Stars Designations based upon meeting quality standards. They care for different aged children, often for second and third shift parents. They are small business owners that support families so that they can work. Your generous contribution will go towards providing these children and their families with literacy materials for both the provider and the families at home. Rotarians may make donations by cash or check, or have their contribution billed to their Rotary Club account. A table will be set up at Rotary each Wednesday in March to collect your donation or pledge.
