RE: Success for Life through Reading in-kind donation
Dear Robin:
Our volunteers love to read, and right now we have an opportunity for Recycled Books to collaborate
with us as we recognize the tremendous work that our volunteers do in the community! Success for
Life through Reading is a 100% volunteer-based and service learning literacy program for preschool
children from low-income families. Our mission is to increase early childhood literacy in North Texas.
We accomplish this mission by serving over 550 preschool children in Denton through volunteer led
weekly reading sessions, after which a brand new book is donated to each child in the class.
This semester we have 50 wonderful volunteers who have already donated over 120 hours. Our
volunteers are all busy college students who commit to a semester of service in our program reading in
traditional classrooms as well as special needs and bilingual classrooms. We would like to give back
to our volunteers, but want to ensure that our operating budget goes toward purchasing as many books
as possible so that local children can have access to these books.
This is where you come in. During the first week of December, we will be recognizing the work of all
of our volunteers with a volunteer appreciation week. We would like to give special recognition to our
outstanding volunteers through a gift of appreciation and know that our volunteers would really enjoy
catching up with their favorite author or discovering something unique at Recycled Books.
Recycled Books can help us by donating gift certificates or Recycled Book merchandise that will be
given to our outstanding volunteers to recognize how they have gone above and beyond our
expectations throughout the semester.
Success for Life through Reading is part of the University of North Texas and is able to accept
contributions through UNT's Foundation. The EIN for the Foundation is 23-7232618. If you are able
to provide gifts to our volunteers, please send them to:
