Books for Soldiers
Samara’s recent blog post reminded me of a wonderful charity I stumbled upon recently: www.booksforsoldiers.com. According to their website, Booksforsoldiers.com is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting those in the US military who are deployed outside the US. Military personnel are invited to make requests, and members read the requests and fill them. Booksforsoldiers.com receives no government support, and limited corporate support. It is made possible due to the generosity of its members.
In fact as I read more I learned that they are desperately low on support and are currently conducting a major fund-raising drive just to continue.
So if you’re like me, drowning in books, dvd’s, and other entertainment gadgets that seem to multiple like mice, then consider passing them on to our troops!
