With the help of my friends we were able collect over $900 in cash donation and I was able to add an additional $700 toward books this year. Elf Waffle and Elf Minty made their dramatic visit with a letter from Santa. We visited over 100 houses this year and gifted over 150 books.
Operation "Give Back & Spread Literacy" aka "A Pick-Me-Up Elf Visit 2020"
This holiday my friends helped me collect $670 in cash donation and I was able to add an additional $350 towards buying books (104 books, total value $1176.98 before tax and shipping) for children in my community to give away in a dramatic fashion with a letter from Santa and delivered by one of his Elf Spunkey. We visited over 30 houses so far and giving away more books (40+) through a stop by and pick-up-a-book event. The smiles and the surprise in the children's eyes we experienced during the book delivery were the best gifts we received this year.
Resolve to Read
