We are delighted to begin work with 123Read2Me . Rotary Lilydale volunteers have been collecting donated books from Coles Lilydale and Coles Chirnside Park, and then delivering them to the 123Read2Me warehouse in Heatherton.
Sorted books have then been delivered to locations in the Yarra Valley - including Yarra Junction Maternal and Child welfare centre (see picture)
123Read2Me currently provides children in low socioeconomic communities with FREE quality children’s books through recycled books or new ones purchased with cash donations. The total value of books donated to date exceeds $5,000,000.00 (replacement value).
123read2me promotes reading to children and support the work of over 120 organisations, most operating in the Frankston, Mornington Peninsula, Dandenong, Casey, Kingston and Bayside - and now into the YARRA RANGES through the support and work of Rotary Lilydale volunteers.
