Black Friday has come and gone. Cyber Monday too. But the spirit of Thanksgiving continues. Today is the third annual #GivingTuesday, a national day of generosity to non-profit organizations. We know there are many worthy causes you could support, but since you’re reading this, chances are you share our sense of the importance of our mission. In 2013, we mailed 2,274 packages of books—nearly 7,000 books in all—and it looks likely that we’ll surpass that for 2014. We couldn’t do any of it without people like you who care about this as much as we do. We welcome all gifts, but here are some specific ways your donation can help: $15 provides a week’s worth of packing tape $35 pays Media Mail postage for ten book packages (three books each to ten women) $70 buys First Class postage for one blank journal each to 20 women $125 covers our rent for one month (we’ve recently expanded, which will help us do more, more efficiently) $200 is a typical week’s worth of postage (multiply that by 52 and you get a good idea of our need throughout the year) Donate by clicking the Paypal button here chicagobwp.org/2014/12/02/be-a-part-of-givingtuesday/, or send us a check to our address.
