Please help Rotary raise funds in the Books in Homes, Rotary District 9810 Books for Kids Campaign, which aims to identify and fund primary schools in Victoria’s South Eastern and Yarra Ranges suburbs, that will benefit from being on the program.
Books in Homes GIANTS Greater Western Sydney Campaign
Books in Homes is partnering with the GIANTS for a common cause—to identify primary schools in Western and South Western Sydney that will benefit from being on the Books in Homes Program and to raise funds to help make that happen.
Books in Homes Postage Fund
$2,000Books in Homes occasionally receives independent donations of books, magazines and other gifts to send to children in communities, centres and primary schools, participating on our Program. The cost of shipping to outback Australia is high so donations to our postage fund helps keep the goods flowing and the smiles coming.
