Bernie's Book Bank Drive

CCM&T raised almost 200 books to support Bernie's Book Bank, a non-profit organization that provides books to children in the Chicagoland area who normally wouldn't have any books to read in their home. According to Bernie's Book Bank, "2 out of 3 low income children have no books of their own." Thank you to everyone who donate!

Check out what Bernie's Book Bank has to say about their mission:
"We are a small but mighty organization with a rapidly growing mission. In the last year alone we have distributed over 2.6 million books to over 250,000 children. We are making an impact but there are still more children that need our help. This year our goal is to distribute 4 million books to 350,000 children in the Chicagoland area. We provide books for children ages birth through 6th grade. Each child in our program gets 6 books twice a year. If a child enters our program at birth, they can end up with 144 books in their own private library. 144 books that they may not otherwise have if it were not for our program!"
