The Purpose of a Purpose (Why the Enrich Humanity book drive) Updated photos!!!!

“It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.”― James Baldwin Blessings to all. I would like to share the objective and expected outcome of the Enrich Humanity Book drive. This project is an extension of the Enrichment services ImpactHumanity provides. This will be an annual book drive done during the month of March in dedication to my mother, Maria Christinia Palumbo. But it is more to this Impact I am here to make than that of just My Existence…. Even before the pandemic, I noticed our children's literacy has been overlooked and declining with all of these devices in their hands in some households and traumatic experiences in others especially in our underserved communities. They are not picking up books and some do not have any exposure to books. This hinders our youth in so many different aspects starting with their education leading to unemployment and trapped in an unproductive cycle. Which will accumulate Generational Debt. On top of that so many people have tons of books in their homes just sitting there or in storage. Together we can make a shift in that trajectory from our youth sinking in Generational Debt to them collectively building Generational Wealth. I am collecting books, magazines, and learning material that will be distributed to other nonprofit organizations I know who provide food distributions, educational programs, and other services for our underserved communities. I will also include my ImpactHumanity wristbands. All I need are books, books, magazines, books, and more books. I would Love help with the bookmarks as well if anyone wants to join me and have materials. Please email impacthumanitynow@gmail.com You can contribute via cashapp $vesselforhumanity. PayPal email is vessel4humanity@gmail.com Donations are not tax exempt yet but I will provide a receipt and keep records. All donations will be recorded and posted on the ImpactHumanity web page. Due to COVID-19 we have to properly strategize and allocate the books accordingly. Our plans to donate to the Children's Hospital was halted due to the pandemic. However, we are still able to be a blessing to our local youth and underserved communities. Below are the organizations books are being distributed to so far: MakeSmartCool: https://www.makesmart.cool/ College Park Food Bank: http://www.collegeparkfoodbank.com/ ImpactHumanity Free Little Library: Locations announced 25 April 2021 Join this facebook group to stay updated on the enrichment services ImpactHumanity and other organizations are providing to the youth in our underserved communities. https://www.facebook.com/groups/pgeducationroundtable Information to know.
