CA Foundation Seeks Local Groups to Help Distribute Thousands of Children’s Books;
‘Launch Into Learning’ Effort Geared to Help Youths Get Ready for School
Local service organizations in the Denver area and elsewhere around the state are needed as distribution partners to help hand out tens of thousands of free children’s storybooks available from The Molina Foundation, a national nonprofit organization based in Long Beach, CA.
Nonprofit groups, community agencies, public libraries, faith-based charities and health clinics are especially encouraged to apply for the giveaway program that offers new children’s books — including activity/ coloring/study materials — in English and Spanish from a variety of publishers.
The “Launch Into Learning” program is designed to provide educational resources to help children in Colorado get ready for the return to school and aid families in building home libraries. Books can provide fun and simple opportunities for households to engage together in pleasure reading and other learning activities.
Organizations interested in receiving books and distributing them to their communities or clients are encouraged to sign up right away — the online application process is easy and takes only a few minutes to complete. Applicants will be reviewed by The Foundation for eligibility.
The Foundation will make all arrangements to have the books delivered free-of-charge and readied for convenient pick-up at a central location in the Denver area in mid-August.
The application deadline: 5:00 PM (MDT), MONDAY, AUG. 1, 2016
