“Chrysler Canada Partners with United Way and Scholastic to Donate over 10,000 New Children’s Books to Windsor Essex County Youth”

Chrysler Canada recently contacted the United  Way, asking us to work with them to distribute 10,000 donated books to local children and youth in Windsor and Essex County.   These books are being offered to locations such as after-school programs;  food banks; day care centres; new-comer agencies and holiday event (toy) drives.    As an organization that works directly with children and families, we are inviting you to access some of these books, to be utilized within your programs and/ or to be distributed to children who will benefit from this donation.

A summary of the books that are available, along with suggested age ranges, is attached.  We ask that you complete the order form and return it to us as soon as possible.  The books will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis,  while quantities last.  

Please return the completed request form to:      Lynn Kong -  lkong@weareunited.com         519-258-0000 x 1122    by Tuesday October 15, 2013

You will be notified when the request is complete and you will be asked to arrange for pick- up here at the United Way offices at 300 Giles Blvd East, during regular business hours.  

Thank you.
