Tell Us Your Good Deed

I organized a book drive for a local refugee assistance organization with the goal of promoting literacy. We raised more than $1,500 for educational books to give to Worcester's refugee children. We held a party for them at Worcester Public Library, which also gave them the opportunity to sign up for library cards. It was amazing to see the smiles on the children's faces when they received their book bundles.

Why are you participating?

I've always been intrigued by this project, and I feel very strongly that infusing our world with positivity and optimism is the best way to foster lasting, meaningful change.
