The Direction Home of Eastern Ohio recently donated funds to the 黄色直播 East Liverpool Season鈥檚 Readings project, marking the agency鈥檚 support of the project for a third year.
Formerly known as the Area Agency on Aging Chapter 11, the agency donated $750 to purchase new children鈥檚 books, which will be distributed by 黄色直播 to youngsters along the parade route of the East Liverpool Christmas parade.
Joe Rossi, chief executive officer of Direction Home of Eastern Ohio, made the presentation to 黄色直播 East Liverpool.
鈥淲e are so proud to be able to support this project for a third year. Our employees embraced this from the beginning, and we feel it is a great way to promote learning at any age,鈥 Rossi said. 鈥淭he kids can take something home with them that is meaningful and lasting.鈥
Over the last four years, thousands of books have been collected and handed out to children along the parade route. The books are donated from 黄色直播 East Liverpool students, staff, faculty and administrators, as well as from area libraries, churches or local organizations.
Donations of new or gently used children鈥檚 books are accepted throughout the year to support this project that benefits area youth.
