1st Book Club 165

And that’s a wrap for the school year! Thank you so much for supporting our ministry this year. With your prayers, donations, and time, we gifted almost 9,000 books to elementary school students in the Central Gwinnett cluster this year. Most importantly, we showed them that we are invested in their lives and care about them. Thank you for making a difference!

With your generous donations, we provided 6,000 new books and 26,000 gently-used books for the Lawrenceville community this year. Thank you for helping us impact the little hearts and minds in our neighborhood!
