GET INVOLVED, DONATE BOOKS
We are pleased to be able to support the Fresno Police Chaplaincy with their book collection collection for younger children. The Chaplaincy meet with and provide help and resources to domestic violence victims on a regular basis, including women with young children.
If you have any books for little ones that you no longer need, please bring them to the store where we have a donation box ready to receive them.
