COMMUNITY ACTION BOOK DRIVE
POSTPONED
10AM–4PM

Donate new or gently used books to Community Action’s Child Care Resource & Referral Program during your visit to Pittock Mansion. Community Action leads the way to eliminate conditions of poverty and creates opportunities for people and communities to thrive. High quality child care is a vital piece of our community’s infrastructure and many children’s first exposure to early literacy. Community Action’s Child Care Resource & Referral Program provides training, professional development opportunities, and coaching to anyone involved in early childhood education. By donating a book to Community Action’s Child Care Resource & Referral Program, you are helping to provide an early literacy experience to a child in Washington County.
