Join the Wichita Chapter of the Assistance League as we celebrate our community connections with other chapters of the National Assistance League. This year we are celebrating Literacy through a variety of events across the nation. In Wichita we are collecting books for Harry Street Elementary to use in a special take home book event. We would like anyone in Wichita to help us as we collect books for 300 children prekindergarten through fifth grade. Please bring new or gently used books to our Thrift shop at 2431 E Douglas.
