***POP-UP EVENT***
Lifting and moving boxes of books

Last weekend, SKC assisted Reach Out and Read / Hooked on Books sort and box 24,000 donated books. This week SKC volunteers will assist other nonprofits move boxes of books to their vehicles using dollies.

Attire: Please dress comfortably for moving boxes. Closed toe shoes required.

This is NOT a child friendly event, teens able to lift and move boxes 20-30lbs are welcome.

Location: The sort is at the Kansas City Star Pavilion at 1601 McGee—it’s the large bldg. with lots of greenish glass—takes up 2 city blocks (17th/McGee/15th/Oak). The door is in the middle of the block and the room we work in is in the corner of the building (you can see in the window if you look to your left when you are at the door. The door will be locked, but you will see the Hooked on Books sign in the window and a Serve KC volunteer will be waiting at the door to let people in. If you are late to the event and no-one is at the door, tap on the window and someone will let you in.

Parking: There is plenty of street parking in that area.

Reach Out and Read Kansas City is a nonprofit program in partnership with the Kansas University Endowment at the University of Kansas Medical Center and a member of the national Reach Out and Read Program (http://reachoutandread.org/).

Each year, Reach Out and Read Kansas City (http://www.reachoutandreadkc.org/) provides approximately 76,500 new, culturally and developmentally appropriate books to almost 30,000 low income children, birth to age 5, during well-child visits at our partner clinic sites, building a 15-book library for each child before he or she enters kindergarten.
