Welcome to the Raining Smiles Book Drive!! You may have seen posts or a news feature right after Hurricane Ida last month about the devastation experienced by so many families in the path of the storm. Hurricane Ida came ashore in Louisiana on the sixteenth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and has affected many families, schools, businesses & communities that were in its path.
However, the world keeps turning and there have been other things in the news since then. Many people don’t realize just how slow the process is for insurance claims & approvals for rebuilding, etc. Children have only just recently been able to return to their schools, and many are still living in temporary housing, or living in damaged homes waiting for repairs to be made. We want to provide a ray of sunshine by gifting books to replenish classroom libraries lost due to Hurricane Ida! Would you consider partnering with us to put a smile on some faces?
