Success Won’t Wait receives 3,500+ book donation from the Mitzvah Circle Foundation
Volunteer Jazmine Wood helps organize approximately 3,500 books received from the Mitzvah Circle Foundation!
As most of you know, Success Won’t Wait accepts book donations from many sources — publishers, book stores, and individual citizens. Every once and a while, we are fortunate to meet another organization with complementary goals. And, that’s just what happened when one of our biggest supporters put us in touch with the Mitzvah Circle Foundation!
The Foundation provides support in the form of goods, service, gift cards and information for individuals and families when they are in a time of need. They also provide opportunities for people who want to help others to do so — encouraging volunteers to reach out to others in innovative ways . One example is the Foundation’s Adopt-a-Class Program which gives school supplies, clothing and other essential items to school children living in difficult circumstances or poverty.
Yesterday, representatives from the Foundation delivered a van full of like-new books for elementary school aged children through adults – over 90 boxes worth. Preliminary estimates put the donation somewhere over 3,500 books!
Many, many thanks to the wonderful folks at the Mitzvah Circle Foundation for this generous donation. Now we can really get busy and fulfill some of the book requests from schools, libraries, and teachers that have been languishing for lack of age-appropriate books!

Success Won’t Wait and the Charter School of Wilmington team up to send children’s books to Cameroon, Africa
Success Won't Wait volunteers Elizabeth and Anna Gonye took leadership on the Africa donation and have processed hundreds of children's books to date.
Charter School of Wilmington recently hosted a book drive to support its partner school, the Government School M’mouck in Cameroon, Africa. The school is building its first library and Charter students pledged to help supply them with necessary books. Since two active Success Won’t Wait volunteers are students at Charter, we knew we had to get involved!
Volunteers Elizabeth and Anna Gonye have been busy getting children’s and scholarly books ready for shipping. So far, the girls have processed about 200 books, with many more to come.
Stay tuned for a final total at the end of the month!
