Dear Editor:
Please give homeless and very low-income children an opportunity to experience the joy of reading! St. Joseph’s Family Center is gathering new and gently used books to give to children at our Christmas Sharing Program. When it is a struggle to buy food for the table, books are not in the family budget.
Last year, we were able to give books to over 600 children, thanks to the generosity of the community of Gilroy. Their joy was beyond belief. So once again we are asking your help. If your children have outgrown some of their books or if you have a new book you would like to donate, please bring your books to the Gilroy Library, Gilroy Coffee and Tea (corner of Monterey and Fifth Street), the Wize Owl bookstore (8060 Santa Teresa Blvd. near South Valley National Bank), St. Mary’s Parish School (First St.) or St. Joseph’s Family Center (7950 Church St.). Thank you, Gilroy! You are great!
Doug Wilber, President, St. Joseph’s Family Center Board of Directors
