Please join us in supporting our veterans on Monday, January 16, 2012 for our book drive event in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Volunteers will be collecting books in the Kaleidoscope Hub within the Skywalk System from 11:00am to 2:00pm. You can donate a book (or two!) by stopping by the book drive event on January 16th or visiting one of the participating locations. With your help we can promote an interest in reading and improve the reading levels of Central Iowa’s homeless veterans. Your donations will benefit Central Iowa Shelter & Services, Riverfront YMCA and other locations where books are needed. Books of any genre or subject will be accepted, but those in good to excellent condition are preferred.
