United Way Hosts Hispanic Heritage Month Book Drive
Open a World of Possibilities for Young Readers
United Way of Lake County is hosting a book drive in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Starting September 15 through October 15, 2023, community members and local businesses are invited to participate and share the joy of reading with local school children and be part of their storytelling adventure. Books will be donated to elementary school libraries and will help promote cultural awareness, celebrate diversity, and honor Latinx and Hispanic culture.
This year, there are two ways to give: make a monetary donation online or purchase books from the curated book list and drop them off. Donations may be dropped off by October 15 at United Way of Lake County, 330 S. Greenleaf Street, Gurnee, Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
