This is a great literary effort! Look through your bookshelves and plan to participate.

From Tamika Newhouse, AAMBC Founder
and Book Drive Coordinator

This year marks the first ever Holiday Book Drive conducted by AAMBC. I for one am excited as I have located two group homes in the San Antonio Metro Area. The book drive is the spread the love for literature and to entertain those who are less fortunate in a way they would have never imagined. I hope you choose to donate. You may wonder why books and not food, clothes, or money? Spreading literature is something that can never be taken away from someone. So give out the gift of reading. I have located two homes and here is some information about each one

Seton Homes~ is a temporary resident for young teen mother’s ages 12-19 years old. 90% of them have been physically abused and have become pregnant not by choice. Others who have become pregnant have come to Seton Homes to learn how to be a great mother. For this location I am looking for teen books, inspiring books, and children’s books. Not to worry, if you are an author and your book doesn’t fall into this category please consider purchasing a book and donating it. PLEASE NO books with sexual content, rape, abuse, or torture. We must help these young girls evolve and some of them can not read well because they left school. Let’s help them make a turn around for the better.

Their website is http://www.setonhomesa.org/

San Antonio Family Endeavors ~ is a permanent home for men, women and children. This home deals with some people who have had mental illness or a disability. We hope that giving them something positive or entertaining will help bring a smile to their Christmas holiday.
