New Family Offerings

Family_Reading_Bilingual_Book_Together-1024×682-1

We are very excited to share our new partnerships that will help us to serve even more Rhode Island families. We will be distributing more Book Bags than ever before, in conjunction with two new partners: Providence Schools and Progreso Latino.

Books Are Wings will be at the Progreso Latino Food Pantry on the first Monday of every month, from 10-1, with Book Bags for families who are receiving food assistance from the food pantry, or who are members of the Central Falls Community. Learn more here: https://progresolatino.org

Additionally, we will be giving out Book Bags to families who are picking up meals from the Providence Schools Distance Learner Grab and Go Meal Sites. We will be at all 8 sites, twice a month, on the first and third Tuesdays. Learn more here: https://www.providenceschools.org/grabandgo

Anyone who is interested in volunteering to support these initiatives should email Kim Nelson, Director of Community Engagement, at kim@booksarewings.org We hope to see you and your family there!
