The holiday season finds Bookwinkle's Children's Books
alive with angels. Each year since 1994 we have collected the first names (along
with age, first language and interests) of children in need on the
Mendocino coast. The names are supplied by teachers, parents, and
community groups such as the Project Sanctuary and Safe Passage.
We
display each child's particulars on a "book angel" which hangs in a
beautiful wooden display. Bookwinkle's customers are encouraged to pick the angel(s) that appeal to them and purchase a book (or books) for those children. Bookwinkle's
volunteers spend many hours wrapping the books and decorating the
packages. We track, sort and deliver the books to the children's
sponsors for gift giving at holiday time.
If you'd like to be a Book Angel but can't visit in person, you can donate online. |
