RECYCLING AND CLEANING UP PROJECT
On November 7th, a group from the Morrow County Retired Teachers Association (MCRTA), met for their annual Recycling & Cleaning Up Books project. Throughout the year retired teachers from MCRTA keep their eyes peeled for quality used books of all reading levels: board books, picture books, and chapter books. The books are cleaned and neatened up. The goal is to provide good books for families in need. MCRTA works with the Morrow County Job and Family Services, and have provided annually over 225 books to be given away as Christmas gifts.
Pat Maxwell, a member of MCRTA, organizes this project every year. She has coordinated the book giving with Sundie Brown, the Director of Job and Family Services. Sundie stated that a family will first receive food items from the Morrow County Food Pantry. Then, the books will be available for the families to pick and choose as Christmas gifts for their children.
On November 17th, Pat Maxwell delivered the books to Eric Ehdee, an employee at the Job and Family Services Office in Mount Gilead, OH. The books will be stored and saved for many families in Morrow County who could use a helping hand at Christmas time. The retired teachers from MCRTA are more than happy to give away books that can be read and loved again and again.
