Todd and I have been discussing how important it is to us to teach Carly Beth about being generous. We have done research looking for a way she can participate and we can impact children in our community. We've decided to collect books for the Barium Springs Home for Children.(http://www.bariumsprings.org/index.cfm) "Barium Springs serves North Carolina's children and families by providing a caring place to live for abused or neglected children, early childhood development for low income families, counseling services and foster family programs. They also offer behavior treatment in a school setting for troubled teens as well as early intervention services for children still living in the community."
Barium Springs has numerous needs for their children, but we chose books because Carly Beth loves to read and because we truly believe that books can impact children's lives forever. They need books for infant, toddler, and preschool aged children. They can be new or gently used.
If you'd like to join us in blessing these children, we are going to collect books until Thanksgiving and then travel to drop them off the weekend after. Barium Springs has homes in Statesville and Wilkesboro, and we are hoping to have enough to split between the two homes.
