Every February, Assistance League ACTION! Week gives all 120 chapters nationwide an opportunity to conduct a special program in their community.\u00a0 For the past two years, Assistance League of Greater Wilmington has expanded that week to the full month of February and focused on children\u2019s literacy.<\/p>\n
For our Assistance League ACTION! project, a bright and colorful \u201cbook wall\u201d of favorite children\u2019s book covers was displayed in our Thrift Shop for the month of February.\u00a0 The \u201cbooks\u201d were purchased with a $5 donation and the donors selected and signed their book cover before it was posted on the wall.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We appreciate the donations of many Thrift Shop customers and Assistance League members.\u00a0\u00a0 PHOTO<\/p>\n
In February 2020 a total of 134 book covers were sold, raising $670.\u00a0 \u00a0Assistance League of Greater Wilmington supplemented this amount in order to give $2,000 to Forest Hills Global Elementary School (New Hanover County) and $2,000 to Bolivia Elementary School (Brunswick County) for their media centers.\u00a0 Approximately 790 children at the two elementary schools will benefit from the enhancements to their media centers that we have provided.\u00a0\u00a0 In 2019, our ACTION! project gave $2,000 to the library of Penderlea Elementary School (Pender County).<\/p>\n
