Help your neighbors in need this holiday season! We are partnering with various organizations across Idaho to help provide books and meals for kids from food-insecure homes this holiday season! Each office is holding their own drive, let us know how you can help!
Meridian Office Book Drive (Benefiting Book it Forward! Idaho):
- Did you know that in low-income homes there is on average only 1 book for every 300 children?
- Kids who only read in school will rarely be great readers. The availability of reading material in the home is directly associated with children’s achievement in reading.
The Details:
- All books will be donated to Book it Forward! Idaho
- Donated books should be for kids age 1-18
- Books should be in nearly new condition
Books can be dropped off at our Meridian office through December 15th
Location:
Harris CPAs Meridian – 1120 S Rackham Way, Suite 100 (In the Kiln Building)
Coeur d’Alene Office book Drive (Benefiting the Coeur d’Alene Public Library)
Help us support the Coeur d’Alene Public Library Book drive, Jólabókaflóð (pronounced yo-la-bok-a-flot). This is an Icelandic tradition of book giving. It began in WWII, when paper was far cheaper than imported goods. People began giving books as gifts. The Coeur d’Alene Library is bringing this tradition to you! Books will be wrapped and given away by the Library for free in late December!
The Details:
- All books will be donated to Coeur D’Alene Library to support their Jólabókaflóð Holiday Book Giveaway
- Donated books should be for kids age 1-18
- Books should be new, or mint condition
Books can be dropped off at our Meridian office through December 13th
