Donated items will help the agency's job training program for homeless and very low income people. Used books are the backbone of the Spotlight Books program that teaches trainees such valuable job skills as data entry, warehouse management, and customer service through our online used book business. All revenues from the online sales go to training, employment, and support services.
Please donate your used books for this worthwhile cause!
