Book Harvest collects new and gently used children's books and places them in the hands and homes of children who need them. In 2011, our inaugural year, we placed more than 35,000 books. We need YOU to help us continue to reach kids with books in 2012! Please join us on MLK Day and help us ensure a brighter future for ALL our community's children with books!
