When we imagine people without books, we think of villagers in places like Afghanistan. But sixty percent of low-income families in the United States have no children’s books at home.

We are having our annual Palm Sunday Book Drive for Spring Branch Elementary School students to help our neighbors. New or gently used books for grades K-5 will be given to all of the children in May. Books can be dropped off in the green bins.

 If you would like to make a difference in a child’s life, consider donating a book (or books) during this Lenten season.
